Culdee

Member of an ancient order of Christian monks that existed in Ireland and Scotland from before the 9th century to about the 12th century AD, when the Celtic church, to which they belonged, was forced to conform to Roman usages. Some survived until the 14th century, and in Armagh, Northern Ireland, they remained until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1541.
