Life

Saint Ysgwn (Ysgin) is named a son of Cystennin Gorneu and brother of Digain and Erbin; another document gives him as a son of Erbin and brother of Geraint. Another Ysgwn, son of Llywarch Hen and father of Saint Buan, is also once counted among the saints. In the old copies of the Genealogy of the Saints he is not entered as a saint, only as father of Saint Buan. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
