From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Bilo (Welsh: Sant Belyau) was a 5th century saint and one of the 24 daughters of Brychan Brycheiniog.[1] She founded a church in Llanfilo, which is now a village in the communityofFelin-fachinPowys.[2]
The head of a neighbouring tribe allegedly tried to abduct and rape her in an attempt to force her to marry him.[citation needed]
Parts of her history are thought to have added to Milburgha's stories of Much Wenlock.[citation needed]
