Life

Holy Martyr Meubred (Mybard, Morbred) was, according to William of Worcester, the son of a king of Ireland and was also called Colrog. He settled as a hermit at Cardinham near Bodmin in Cornwall, and there he was murdered. His companions, tradition says, were Mancus (Mannach) and Wyllow. He is counted a Cornish saint of the sixth century; Baring-⁠Gould notes that a Morbred, a contemporary of Saint Winwaloe, appears in the cartulary of Landevennec, in a forged deed.
