FAELCHU: Faelchu, Dorbene's son, received the chair of Columba in 716 (Tighernach), and died in 724. The Irish version of Nennius speaks of the race of the Leinster Faelchu or wolf in Ossory, as the fourteenth wonder of Ireland (Irish Nenn., p. 204—205).

The Welsh reflex of Faelchu exists only as a poetic name for the sea, Y Weilgi 'the wolf.'.
