My fellow early medieval Irish scholars, is there really much early evidence for the burial of kings in an ecclesiastical setting? Excluding kings who entered the clerical life. I’m not finding many early references, unless I’m missing them somehow. I see this stated as fact

Not really what I’m looking for. The Collectio Canonum Hibernensis has stuff regarding burial but that’s it. I’m looking for specific references to kings being buried rather than prescriptive sources.

And there are a lot of problems and debates in the historiography with applying law as regular practice. I’m wondering why there is an idea that kings were buried at monasteries and what sources talk about this specifically since I cannot find them.
