Died c. 492. Saint Canog, the eldest son of the prolific King Saint Brychan of Brecknock (f.d. April 6) . He was killed at Merthyr-Cynog during a barbarian invasion. There are churches dedicated to his memory in Wales; he is also honoured in Brittany (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Cynog tone 4
Spurred on by their impiety,/ God-hating barbarians sought to destroy
thee, O holy Cynog,/ but by death thou didst gain the victory./ Pray for
us, that we too may triumph over evil by faithfulness unto the end,/
that we may be granted great mercy.
