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.
