Died 621. Saint Deiniol was abbot of Bangor at the time of the slaughter of his monks and the destruction of their monastery by King Ethelfrid of Northumbria in 616. The saint appears to have escaped the massacre (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Deiniol the Younger
Tone 8
Being preserved from martyrdom at the hands of the warlike Ethelfrid,
thou didst persevere in thy missionary labours, O Father Deiniol.
Wherefore we entreat thee to pray to God for us
that, being firm in the faith, we may be found worthy of His great mercy.
