6th century. Some believe that the Welsh Saint Afan of the Cunedda family was a bishop. He has given his name to the church of Llanafan (Brecknock) (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Afan
Tone l
Llanafan remembers thee, O Hierarch Afan,
thou teacher of piety, pastor, guide and inspirer of men's hearts.
Wherefore, O holy one, entreat Christ our God
that He will grant great mercy to our souls.
