Cynfarwy
Cynfarwy was a Christian in the 7th century about whom little is known. He was venerated by the early church in Wales as a saint, although he was never formally canonised. St Cynfarwy's Church in Anglesey is dedicated to him, and his name is also preserved in the name of the settlement around the church, Llechgynfarwy (or sometimes "Llechcynfarwy"). His feast day is in November, although the date varies between sources.
==Life and commemoration==
Little is known for certain about Cynfarwy; his dates of birth and death are not given in the ''Bonedd y Saint'' (a Welsh genealogical tract compiled in the late 18th century using material from older manuscripts).〔 According to the 19th-century Celtic scholar Robert Williams, Cynfarwy was active in the 7th century. According to the ''Bonedd y Saint'', he was the son of the otherwise unknown "Awy ab Llehenog, Lord of Cornwall".
Cynfarwy is venerated as a saint, although he was never canonized by a pope: as the historian Jane Cartwright notes, "In Wales sanctity was locally conferred and none of the medieval Welsh saints appears to have been canonized by the Roman Catholic Church".
