Died c. 492. The other Gwen, also a widow, is said to have been the daughter of Brychan of Brecknock (f.d. April 6) and, therefore, the sister of Saint Cledwyn (f.d. November 1) and a host of other saints. She was murdered by the heathen Saxon at Talgarth c. 492 (Benedictines, Encyclopaedia).

Troparion of St Wenna tone 4
O Brychan's jewel and holy daughter, most pious Wenna,/ thou didst defy
the heathen Saxons, thereby winning a martyr's crown./ Being, therefore,
numbered among the saints,/ intercede for us before the Throne of
Grace,/ that we may be granted great mercy.
