Life

Saint Pasgen, a bishop, is given in the old Brychan list either as a son of Brychan or as a son of Dingad, Brychan's son. The late lists say that, with Neffei and Pabiali, he went to Spain and became a bishop there. At Towyn in Merionethshire there once stood a stone inscribed "Pascent", taken for his tomb, but Pasgen is a common name in Welsh history. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
