Saint Benignus of Armagh (died 467) was the son of Sesenen, an Irish chieftain in the part of Ireland that is now called as County Meath. He was baptised into the Christian faith by St. Patrick, and became his favourite disciple and his coadjutor in the Diocese of Armagh around AD 450. His gentle disposition suggested the name Benen, which was Latinised as Benignus. Benignus is said to have contributed materials for the Psalter of Cashel, and the Book of Rights. He succeeded St. Patrick's nephew Sechnall as coadjutor and became the first rector of the Cathedral School of Armagh.

  • Saint Benignus of Armagh (died 467) was the son of Sesenen, an Irish chieftain in the part of Ireland that is now called as County Meath. He was baptised into the Christian faith by St. Patrick, and became his favourite disciple and his coadjutor in the Diocese of Armagh around AD 450. His gentle disposition suggested the name Benen, which was Latinised as Benignus. He followed his master in his travels and assisted him in his missionary labours, helping in the formation of choral services. His family may have belonged to the bardic order. From his musical achievements he was known as "Patrick's psalm-singer". As Benignus had been trained by Patrick in sacred learning from his youth and was well versed in the language and learning of his native land, he was appointed secretary to the Commission of Nine, which a few years before had been directed to compile the Brehon Laws. Benignus is said to have contributed materials for the Psalter of Cashel, and the Book of Rights. He succeeded St. Patrick's nephew Sechnall as coadjutor and became the first rector of the Cathedral School of Armagh. He was present at the synod that passed the canon recognising "the See Of the Apostle Peter" as the final court of appeals in difficult cases. This canon is to be found in the Book of Armagh. St. Benignus resigned his coadjutorship in 467 and died the same year. His feast is celebrated on 9 November. In 433, Patrick clashed with King Laoghaire at Tara over religion. Legend reports that a trial by fire was proposed. A pagan druid and Benignus were tied inside a burning timber building, the former was reduced to ash while Benignus was untouched, at this turning point, Christian teaching was established. Most authorities identified St. Patrick's psalm-singer with the St. Benignus who founded Kilbannon, near Tuam. However, Tirechán's collections in the Book of Armagh states that St. Benignus of Kilbannon was the son of Lugni of Connaught. St. Benignus of Kilbannon had a famous monastery, where St. Jarlath was educated, and he presided over Drumlease. His sister Mathona served as Abbess of Tawney, in Tirerrill. In Cavan, he established a monastery on Drom Benen (hill of Benan), today's Drumbannon. Other monasteries are in cill benen (church of Benan), today's Kilbonane, West Cork. (en)
  • San Benigno de Armagh (muerto en 467) fue hijo de Sesenen, un cacique irlandés en la parte de Irlanda que ahora es el Condado de Meath. Fue bautizado a la fe cristiana por San Patricio, convirtiéndose en su discípulo favorito y obispo coadjutor en la Diócesis de Armagh alrededor de 450. Su talante suave sugirió el nombre Benen, que fue latinizado como Benigno.​ Siguió a su maestro en sus viajes y le asistió en sus trabajos misioneros, ayudando en la formación de servicios corales. Su familia pudo haber pertenecido al orden bárdico.​ Por sus logros musicales fue conocido como "el cantor de salmos de Patricio". Ya que Benigno había sido educado por Patricio en el conocimiento sagrado desde su juventud y conocía también el lenguaje y la enseñanza de su tierra nativa, fue nombrado secretario de la Comisión de Nueve, que unos cuantos años antes había recibido el encargo de compilar las Leyes Brehon.​ Se dice que Benigno contribuyó con materiales en el Salterio de Cashel, y el Libro de Derechos. Sucedió al sobrino de Patricio, Sechnall como coadjutor y fue el primer rector de la Escuela Catedralicia de Armagh.​ Asistió al sínodo que aprobó el canon reconociendo "la Sede del Apóstol Pedro" como el tribunal final de apelaciones en casos difíciles. Este canon puede ser encontrado en el Libro de Armagh. San Benigno dimitió de su cargo de coadjutor en 467 y murió el mismo año. Su fiesta se celebra el 9 de noviembre.​ En 433, Patricio se enfrentó al rey Laoghaire en Tara sobre religión. La leyenda cuenta que se propuso un juicio por fuego. Benigno y un druida pagano fueron atados dentro de una construcción de madera en llamas. El druida fue reducido a cenizas, mientras que Benigno resultó indemne. A partir de ese momento, se permitió la enseñanza del cristianismo.​ La mayoría de autoridades identifican al cantor de salmos de Patricio con el San Benigno que fundó Kilbannon, cerca de Tuam. Aun así, las recopilaciones de Tirechán en el Libro de Armagh afirman que San Benigno de Kilbannon era hijo de Lugni de Connaught. San Benigno de Kilbannon tuvo un famoso monasterio, donde San Jarlath fue educado, y presidió Drumlease. Su hermana Mathona sirvió como abadesa de Tawney, en Tirerrill.​ En Cavan, estableció un monasterio en Drom Benen (cerro de Benan), hoy Drumbannon. Otros monasterios estaban en cill benen (iglesia de Benan), hoy Kilbonane, Cork occidental. (es)
