description: "Mél of Ardagh, also written Mel or Moel, was a 5th-century saint in Ireland who was a nephew of Saint Patrick. He was the son of Conis and Patrick's sister, Darerca. Saint Darerca was known as the \"mother of saints\" because most of her children entered religious life, many were later recognized as saints, and several of her sons became bishops."
