Life

Righteous Einion Frenhin, that is Einion the King, was a king and a confessor of the Celtic Church in Wales, in the late fifth and early sixth century. His Latin name is Ennianus or Anianus. His feast was originally kept on 9 February, but by the sixteenth century it had moved to the 10th or 12th, and it is no longer observed in Wales by the Anglican or Roman Catholic Church.
