Life
Venerable Cynon (Cynan) of Armorica was one of those who came from Llydaw (Brittany) with Saint Cadfan. The late genealogies connect him with the stock of Emyr Llydaw. He was at first in the communities of Saints Illtud and Cadog and then, when Cadfan founded the monastery on Bardsey, followed him there and became his chancellor. He is thought to be the patron of Tregynon in Montgomeryshire and Capel Cynon in Ceredigion, without sure grounds. He is honoured in Brycheiniog.
