Derrybrien Derrybrien is a tiny village in County Galway, Ireland. It lies along the R353 road in the Slieve Aughty Mountains.

Sigeberht the Good Sigeberht II, nicknamed the Good ("Bonus") or the Blessed ("Sanctus"), was King of the East Saxons (r. "c". 653 to ? 660 x 661), in succession to his relative Sigeberht I the Little. Although a bishopric in Essex had been created under Mellitus, the kingdom had lapsed to paganism and it was in Sigeberht's reign that a systematic (re-)conversion of the East Anglians took root. Bede's "Historia Ecclesiastica", Book III, chapter 22, is virtually the sole source for his career.
