Life
Saint Marthaerun is counted among the sons of Brychan. The Domitian version of the old list enters him as "Marthaerun at Keueilauc", that is in Cyfeiliog, a district of Montgomeryshire with the town of Machynlleth. Late manuscripts call him Mathaiarn and say he lies buried in Ceredigion, a slip for Cyfeiliog. The name has no connection with Mathafarn. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
