Briavel

Saint Briavel was a hermit at St Briavels, now in Gloucestershire in England, in the sixth century. The village, which lies above the river Wye, bears his name. Some think that the village name comes from Saint Brioc: his medieval Life gives his fuller name as Briomaglus, from which, through Brittonic forms such as Briomael and Briafael, came the name Briavel.

The sources preserve no details of his life. He is commemorated on 17 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
