Broccán Clóen

Broccán Clóen was an Irish cleric who lived in the sixth or seventh century. Several persons noted for their holiness seem to have borne this name, which is variously written Brogan, Broccan, Bracan, and even Bearchan and Bearchanus. Of these, two are commemorated in the Félire Óengusso, the early date of which (c. 800) is now generally admitted. There, under 8 July, is written: "Brocan, the scribe, gained a noble triumph without any fall"; and under 17 September: "Brocan of Ross Tuirc thou shouldst declare".
