Bigail

Saint Bigail, also written Bigel or Bugail, is a Welsh saint of the undivided Church. Under the last form the name means a herdsman or shepherd in ordinary Welsh.

Baring-⁠Gould's Lives of the British Saints says that nothing is known of him and that his name occurs in no genealogy. He is generally identified with Vigilius, the martyr-⁠bishop of Trent in the fifth century, but the author considers that identification highly improbable.

He is the patron of Llanfigel in Anglesey, a church now in ruins. His name is also borne by the rock Maen Bigel in Holyhead Bay and by the little island called West Mouse, Ynys Bigel in Welsh. Browne Willis gives the patron of Llanfigel as Vigilius, with his festival on 1 November.
