Saint Cyngar was a 5th-century Catholic Pre-congregational saint. He is the Patron Saint of Llangefni, Anglesey, in Wales, and a founding member of St. Cybi's Monastery at Holyhead, Anglesey. Born around 488 AD he was the son of King Gerren Llyngesog of Dumnonia. As a mature man, he became a follower of his nephew, St. Cybi Felyn, whom he accompanied to Edeligion in South Wales where the built churches in Llangybi-upon-Usk and Llanddyfrwyr-yn-Edeligion before King Glywys of Glywysing forced them to leave.〔( Edelig Edeligion, King of Edeligion ).〕 They then went to the island of Aran Mor in Ireland where they spent 4 years building churches.〔Nicholas Orme, ''The Saints of Cornwall'' (Google eBook) (Oxford University Press, 2000) ( page 99 ).〕 after which they moved to the Lleyn Peninsula at Cricieth. They finally established an important monastery at Holyhead Anglesey〔Arnold, Christopher J & Davies, Jeffrey L ''Roman & Early Medieval Wales. (Sutton Publishing, 2000).〕 from where, St. Cyngar founded the church at Llangefni.
