Aonghus is the bastard son of a Roman soldier and a farmer's daughter. He grew up on the farm with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. At eleven, Aonghus was sent to serve table at the house of the land lord. Since he was of an age with [[Bradán ap Caddell|Bradán]], they became friends.

One day an incident of harmless mischief was taken as a serious insult by a member of the household, and resulted in both boys standing shamefaced before the high seat of The Lord, Bradán's father. When it was time for the blame to fall, it was going to fall undeservedly on Aonghus. Aonghus did not protest, but Bradán would not let his friend suffer for what he had done, and confessed bravely. The Lord was impressed with Bradán's courage, but also with the serving boy's loyalty. He took Aonghus to page.

As a page, Aonghus had more opportunities to show his worth as a battlefield messenger and assistant.
