Guthagon

Saint Guthagon (also Guthagonius or Guthagonus) was a possibly Irish hermit who lived in Belgium, most likely in the eighth century, and became venerated as a saint. An English martyrology says that he crossed from Ireland to Belgium and there lived the life of a hermit, and that many miracles have been wrought at his tomb.

According to a popular tradition that Baring-⁠Gould calls worthless, Guthagon was the son of a Scottish king and came to Flanders with his faithful servant Ghillo, settled at Oostkerke near Furnes, and died and was buried there. His relics were raised and enshrined by Gerard, bishop of Tournai, in 1159. He is commemorated on 3 July as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
