Klervi
Klervi (Breton language, Breton: Klerwi; French language, French: ''Clervie''; Latin language, Latin: ''Creirvia''; Welsh language, Welsh: ''Creirwy''; born ) was a 5th-century pre-Congregational saint from the Welsh people, Welsh settlement of Ploufragan in Armorica, later a part of Brittany and France. Lineage and life Parentage, ancestry and flight Klervi was the daughter of Fragan, Prince Fragan (Fracan) and the Gwen Teirbron, Princess Gwen Teirbron (Gwen the Three Breasted), both also considered saints.

Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer
Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer (, literally ''Saint-Jacut of the Sea''; ) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor département of Brittany in northwestern France. Population Inhabitants of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer are called ''jaguens'' (masculine) and ''jaguines'' (feminine) in French.

Prehistory The peninsula of Saint-Jacut and the Ebihens archipelago have the presence of several archeological sites attesting to human presence during the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Gwen Teirbron
Gwen Teirbron (French: Blanche; Latin: Alba Trimammis or Candida; possibly English: Wite) was a Breton holy woman and wife of Fragan who supposedly lived in the 5th or 6th century. Her epithet is Welsh for '(of the) three breasts'. Veneration Popular devotion interpreted Gwen's unusual physical and spiritual fecundity by God's gift to her of a third breast. Her iconography followed suit. Gwen is invoked for women's fertility. She is commemorated on 3 October in the Roman Catholic Church (although this has been transferred from Saint Candidus of Rome), and on 18 July ( NS) by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in Australia.Canberra Parish of the Russian Orthodox Church (Abroad).Brief Lives of Saints 2007.
