#St #Declan
St Declan was an early #Irish #saint credited with the conversion of the Déisi people of east #Munster to #Christianity.
It was these #people - the #Déisi - who founded a settlement in #south-west #Wales.
A key aspect of this overseas link - the #import of #slaves, usually #British Christians, by Irish raiders - would have directly exposed Munster to the influence of Christianity.
