Fragan was a 5th-century pre-Congregational saint and Prince of Scotland .
He is celebrated on 3 October in the Calendar of the Breton Saints,[1] feast day on 5 July in the Roman Calendar.
Fragan came from Great Britain, and was a Prince of Albany in Scotland. In the 5th century he left Scotland to evangelize Armorica .
He was the husband of Gwenn and father of the twins Jacut [2] [3] Guethenoc ,[2] [3] of Guénolé , and of Creirwy , Winwaloe ,[4] [2] [3] Riwall and stepfather to Cadfan , son of Eneas Ledewig (or Aeneas of Brittany) and Teirbron.[5]
Biography [ edit ]
He left Britain and moved to Ploufragan (Côtes-d'Armor ) towards the end of the 4th century or perhaps as late as 418 AD [6] [7] Sang River valley. He was the founder of the castle of Lesguen, in the present commune of Plouguin .[8] [9]
Fragan is also known for having amassed a small army in haste to repel a larger force of pagan pirates at the battle of Lochrist .[10]
