Martyr
Dogfan
A martyr of Dyfed in the early Church of Wales.
Life
Saint Dogfan (also called Doewan) lived in Wales in the fifth century. He is the patron of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, which may have been the birthplace of his mother, and was one of the sons of King Brychan. He is said to have been put to death by heathen invaders in Pembrokeshire (Dyfed), where a church was built to his memory.
He is commemorated on 13 July (in the West on 27 January), as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
