Erbin

Erbin was king of Dumnonia (now Cornwall and Devon) and a saint of Wales, honoured among the saints of the West, who died around 480.

According to tradition he was the son of Constantine Corneu and the father of Geraint, and the brother of Saint Digain, founder of the church at Llangernyw. He succeeded his father on the throne about 443. He appears in the Welsh tales of the Mabinogion: in "Geraint and Enid" he is an old king whose realm is under attack by enemies; he calls his son back from the court of King Arthur, who restores the power of the kingdom, and he abdicates in his favour. Saint Cybi is considered his great-⁠grandson. His commemoration falls on 13 January.
