Died 874; feast day at Saint Andrews, Scotland, is March 11. King Constantine was killed in a battle against heathen invaders of Scotland. In his last moments he repeated words echoing Psalm 27: Lord Jesus, abandon not to beasts the souls that serve You. He was buried on Iona, where miracles took place at his tomb. Thereafter he was locally venerated as a martyr (Benedictines, Husenbeth).
