Boecius of Monasterboice, a great monastic center which he founded, was Irish by birth, but studied in Italy under Abbot Tilianus. From there he sailed to the land of the Picts with what are described as 60 “German” saints (presumably Saxons).

Boecius resuscitated King Nectan (ruled 462–86), who gave him a castellum. Then he crossed to Irish Dal Riada and resuscitated the daughter of the king. Boecius died in 521.
