Arianell

Venerable Arianell (Arganhell) was a daughter of Guidgentivai, a man of royal family, probably in Gwent. She was possessed by an evil spirit, that is, she had lost her reason, and had to be kept bound so that she would not throw herself into the river or the fire. Her father appealed to Saint Dubricius (Dyfrig), who cast out the spirit and healed her in the presence of her father and relatives. Restored, she gave herself to the religious life under the saint's care and remained a virgin consecrated to God until her death, according to the Book of Llandaff. A stream of her name rose near Saint Maughan's church in Monmouthshire, but the site of her retreat is uncertain. She is a saint of the undivided Church.
