Life
Rigrawst is called a saint in the Welsh tradition and a queen, one of the consorts of Brychan Brycheiniog, the legendary fifth-century king of Brycheiniog (Breconshire) in South Wales. Legend makes her the daughter of Gwrtheyrn (Vortigern) and of Sevira, daughter of the emperor Magnus Maximus, and the mother of at least twenty children who themselves became saints. Nothing sure is preserved about her life, and the sources show no canonization.
