Nuada ua Bolcain
Encyclopedia
Nuada ua Bolcain was Abbot
of Tuam
.
Nuada ua Bolcain is the first recorded abbot of Tuam after Jarlath
. There is some ambiguity as to his status, as he is listed as abbot of Tuaim Daolann, but this seems to be a contraction of Tuaim Dhá Ghualann, the correct form of the placename.
Because the abbatical succession at Tuam is only partially preserved, it is not known who was his direct predecessor or successor.
It is unlikely that ua Bolcain is a surname, instead indicating descent as a grandson of a person named Bolcain. Nothing else appears to be known of Nuada.
