Life
Venerable Baglan lived in Wales in the sixth century; tradition knows two saints of this name. One is Baglan, son of Dingad and brother of Saints Lleuddad, Eleri, Tegwy and Tyfriog: they were all at Llancarfan and then went with Saint Dyfrig to Bardsey, and he founded Llanfaglan near Caernarfon. The other, a son of Ithel Hael, is linked with Baglan in Glamorgan; Baring-Gould thinks the connection of the Glamorgan church with the son of Dingad is mistaken. A Welsh proverb says: 'By the way of Llanfaglan one goes to heaven.'
