Blathmac mac Cú Brettan, Irish Fíle (poet), fl. 760.

Believed to have being born in southern Airgíalla (modern-day County Monaghan), Blathmac was educated in a monastic school and went on to become a monk, strongly influenced by the Céli Dé (Culdee) movement. A manuscript containing his surviving poems, two meditations on the Virgin Mary, are in the National Library of Ireland, where they were re-discovered by historian James Carney.
