Hyglac

Saint Hyglac was an Anglo-⁠Saxon saint of the eighth century, of whom very little is known. He is known through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript and above all through a letter from the anchorite Alchfrid, preserved in the collection of Alcuin's letters. In it Hyglac appears as a lector in an unknown monastery of Northumbria, perhaps York. The letter, an exhortation to a life pleasing to God, seems drawn from the sermons of several priests.

He was possibly the teacher of Aediluulf and possibly a student of Alcuin. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
