Life
Holy Martyr Rhychwyn appears in the record as a Welsh martyr of the fifth century honoured in Denbighshire. These facts fit Holy Martyr Hychan, one of the sons of Brychan, patron of the little church of Llanychan in the Vale of Clwyd. The tradition at Llandebie in Carmarthenshire says that he was slain by the pagan Irish on a field called Rhandir Hychan, "Hychan's inheritance". Browne Willis gives his commemoration as 8 August.
Another saint, Rhychwyn of Llanrhychwyn in Caernarfonshire, a son of Helig ab Glanog or of Ithel Hael and a brother of Celynnin, lived in the sixth century and is called a confessor; his church, on a rocky hill, is among the oldest in Wales. He is commemorated on 12 June.
Commemorated the same day August 8
