Keyne

Saint Keyne (Keyna, Ceinwen) was born in Wales in the fifth century and, according to tradition, was a daughter of King Brychan. She lived as an anchoress in Cornwall. Some say that Keynsham in Somerset was named after her. A church in Cornwall is dedicated to her. She is commemorated on 8 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no further details of her life.
