  • Saint Goueznou ou Gouesnou ou Gouenou ou Guennou ou Gouéno est un saint chrétien parfois connu comme l’un des premiers compagnons de Paul Aurélien, sous le nom de Woednovius, d’autres textes le placent à une époque plus tardive, n’ayant donc pas débarqué avec le fondateur de l’évêché de Léon, même s’il en fut l’un des premiers successeurs. C’est avec sa famille qu’il aurait quitté la Bretagne insulaire, avec son père Tudon, son frère Majan et sa sœur Tudona (ou Tugdone). L’histoire de leur arrivée sur le continent a été écrite en 1019 par Guillermus, prêtre dans l’évêché de Léon. Jusqu’à la période de la Révolution, ses reliques furent chaque année portées en procession autour du minihi, le jour de l’Ascension. Des fragments de reliques étaient aussi vénérées à Saint-Gouéno, portées en cortège, la charge du brancard revenant aux plus hauts seigneurs. Ce fut dit-on le cas de Charles de Blois, Pierre II et Arthur, ducs de Bretagne. (fr)
