Life
Saint Euryn, called Euryn of the Willow Wood (Coed Helig), was one of the sons of Helig ab Glanog, whose land of Tyno Helig, in north-east Caernarvonshire, was swallowed by the sea. After that disaster the brothers became monks at Bangor-on-Dee and on Bardsey, in the time of Rhun, son of Maelgwn Gwynedd. Roscarrock places his feast on 23 August. No other facts are kept. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
