Life
Saint Mawgan is a saint of Cornwall, of the late fifth or the sixth century, patron of the parishes of St Mawgan and Mawgan-in-Meneage. No Life of him survives, and it is not certain whether the names Mawgan and the Welsh Meugan belong to the same person. Baring-Gould thinks that the Cornish saint is probably the Irish Mawgan (Mancen, Manchan), son of Dubhtach, and not the Welsh Meugant, son of Gwyndaf Hen, since the settlement in Meneage lies among the Irish colonies. The date 8 August is given.
