Although she did not want to marry, the king betrothed her to a nobleman. On the night before the wedding, the nobleman, while lodged at King Cridans castle, awoke to the sight of a shaft of light piercing the roof of the royal residence. After rising to see where the light led, he found that it descended into Samanthas room and bathed her face with a heavenly light as she slept. This miraculous incident together with another following the wedding persuaded the nobleman and King Cridan to accede to Samanthas desire to consecrate her virginity to God. The king told her, We bestow you in marriage and join you to God, the spouse of your choice. Samantha became abbess of the convent of Clonbroney. Many miracles were attributed to her. When a worker hired by Samantha to build an oratory silently wished for himself and his co-workers a feast of forty bread loaves with butter, cheese, and milk, he was soon stunned to see this dream meal brought to them. Giggling at his astonishment, Samantha said to him, The thought of your heart is fulfilled, is it not?
