Life

Idunet, also called Iduned, was a Breton monk and deacon of the 7th century who came to live in Brittany, at Châteaulin. Some make him a disciple of Saint Samson, others of Saint Winwaloe. He is honored as patron of Châteaulin and Pleyben. He appears to be the same as Yben (Ethbin), commemorated on 19 October. No other traces of his life survive. The date is that of the Orthodox Menaion (13 days later on the old calendar).

Commemorated the same day October 19
