Conamail mac Faílbi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conamail mac Faílbi was the tenth abbot of Iona (704-707). Although he did not die until 710, his successor Dunchad was made abbot in 707. This may be evidence of a split in the Iona community over the Easter controversy, a mistake in the sources, or an otherwise unexplained resignation.
