5th century. During the troubled times following the Roman departure
from Britain, Saints Fragan and Gwen became refugees in Brittany, where
many churches are dedicated to each of them. They are the parents of
Saints Winwaloe, Jacut, Guethenoc, and Gunthiern
(
Benedictines).
Troparion of Ss Fragan and Gwen tone 4
O noble exiles Fragan and Gwen/ who fled to Brittany in troubled times:/
you established churches to God's praise and glory;/ your children
brought joy and gladness to the Breton people./ We praise you, glorious
Saints.
