Tangwn ab Talhaiarn

Saint Tangwn ab Talhaiarn, called the son of Talhaiarn, is said by one manuscript to have his church in Somerset, at "Tangyntwn", that is Taunton; but the parentage rests on a misreading, and the town's name comes from the river Tone. He is identified, rightly or wrongly, with the Tangusius of the Life of Saint Beuno, with whom Beuno was placed to learn the Scriptures at Caerwent, and he is credited with succeeding Saint Tathan as second abbot there. A fable in the Iolo manuscripts has him as its chief figure. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
