^A monk in Kilmanagh in Ireland. Having founded a monastery, probably in Enniscorthy, he is said to have visited Rome and on his way home stayed with St David in Wales.

^"ST. FELIX was a native of Burgundy, and was already consecrated Bishop, when his zeal for the spread of the Faith brought him to England, that he might share in the work of the conversion of our ancestors. He explained his wish to St. Honorius, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and was advised by him to betake himself to East Anglia, where the pious King St. Sigebert was labouring for the conversion of his people. The Saint established his See at Dunwich, in Suffolk, and forthwith began his apostolic work. So great was the success with which God favoured him that, after an episcopate of seventeen years, when he was called to the reward of his labours, the whole province was found to be Christian. St. Felix was buried at Dunwich, but afterwards translated to Seham, near Ely, and finally, many years later, to Ramsey Abbey."[22]
