Who they were
Cynheiddion (5th cent.), of family of Brychan, Patroness of a chapel in parish of Llandyfaelog, Carmarthen.
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) lists her among the Welsh saints to whom churches are dedicated.
