Who they were
Cymorth (5th cent.), of the family of Brychan, wife of St. Bernach, said to have lived in Emlyn, Carmarthen; perhaps the same as Clydai.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
Stanton's Menology of England and Wales (1887) names her in its list of other Welsh saints, many of whom, it says, were probably never in fact honoured as saints.
