Life
Saint Hoergnoue is invoked in the Celtic litany of the tenth century kept at Salisbury. In the litany of Saint Vougai the name appears as Huarneue. One scholar took him as the patron of Lanhouarneau, but the author holds that the founder there was Saint Hoarve (Hoernbiu), so he cannot be the same. No life of him survives. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
