Saint Endelienta

Saint Endelienta

Endelienta (also Endelient, Edellienta or Endellion) was a Cornish saint of the 6th century.

Tradition makes her the daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog in South Wales. The village of Saint Endellion in Cornwall, named after her, is from where is she said to have evangelized the local population. Two former wells near the village were named after her.

She may be the daughter of Brychan who is called Cynheiddon or Cenheidlon in Welsh records, with "Endelienta" being a Latinized form of the name. [ [http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/bios/endelienta.html EBK: St. Endelienta ] ]

Her feast day is 29 April.
