Died 874. Several centuries after the death of Solomon I of Brittany,
this saint was born to be king of Brittany during a brutal time. He was
a warrior against the Franks, Norsemen, and his own rebellious subjects,
which has made him a hero among the Bretons. During his early years he
committed many crimes, but later did penance for them. When he was
assassinated, his people immediately acclaimed him a martyr
(
Benedictines).
