Darlugdach (Dardulacha, Derlughach, or Derlugdacha), abbess of Kildare

has a Scotch, Irish, and possible Continental connection. She succeeded her mistress, St. Brigida, in the abbacy of Kildare, about 23, and died a year afterwards. A romantic story is told of her early history by Baring- Gould, Lives of the Saints, ii, 22.
