Life
Saint Ina was, it is thought, a Welsh saint of the fifth century, of the royal house of Gwynedd. She was the daughter of Ceredig, son of Cunedda Wledig (about 420 to 453), and a granddaughter of Cunedda, progenitor of the royal dynasty of Gwynedd. The church of St Ina at Llanina in Ceredigion is dedicated to her.
A tradition identifies the dedicatee with the Anglo-Saxon King Ine (Ina) of Wessex, who died in 727, but this is not true. A road in Cardiff bears her name, among those of other Celtic saints. She is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
