Cenydd (also known as Keneth, modern Welsh Cennydd, modern English Kenneth, French Kinède) was a Christian hermit saint who lived in Britain in Gower and in France in Brittany, probably in the 6th century. He should not be confused with Saint Kenneth, the Irish saint popular in Scotland. According to the unreliable Iolo Morganwg, Cenydd was a son of Gildas, and married and had a son before entering Llanilltud Fawr as a monk under Saint Illtud.

  • Cenydd (also known as Keneth, modern Welsh Cennydd, modern English Kenneth, French Kinède) was a Christian hermit saint who lived in Britain in Gower and in France in Brittany, probably in the 6th century. He should not be confused with Saint Kenneth, the Irish saint popular in Scotland. According to the unreliable Iolo Morganwg, Cenydd was a son of Gildas, and married and had a son before entering Llanilltud Fawr as a monk under Saint Illtud. But place-name evidence indicates only that he was the founder of the church of Llangennith on the Gower Peninsula and travelled to Brittany, where his cultus is centred around Languidic. He also had a chapel at Ploumelin.
