    St Columba was Born - Aleisha

    St Columba was Born - Aleisha
    St Columba was an Irish saint, in all probability at Gartan in Co. Donegal. His father Feidlimid was a member of the prevailing family in Ireland and was closely allied to that of Dalriada. His mother Eithne was of Leinster extraction and was descended from an illustrious provincial king. To these powerful connections as much as to his piety and ability, he owed the immense influence he possessed.

    The Christians had been on the opposing side since 1169. Baldwin V of Jerusalem died in August 1186, and his mother and aunt fought for control of Jerusalem, leaving the Christians with a crisis of leadership. The destruction of the army left the territories vulnerable and Saladin was able to retake Jerusalem and most of the territory of the Crusaders, leaving only Tyre, Tripoli and Antioch. These were, however, enough of a foothold for reinforcement and the Third Crusade to enter the Mideast.
