Saint Sulien
Saint Sulien, Sulian, or Silin was the reputed 6th-century founder-abbot of a monastery at Luxulyan ("Chapel of Sulien") in Cornwall. His feast day is 29 July. He is likely the same as the Saint Sulien of Cornouaille and Domnonée. The prefix "lux" is equivalent to "loc" which means place. It is common in Brittany, but not in Cornwall, which suggests this is a Breton foundation. Etymology Sulien is a Welsh variant of the given name "Julian," but has also been interpreted as being derived from the Welsh ''sul'', meaning "sun" + ''geni'', meaning "born," Sulien being the name of a Celtic solar deity. There have probably been other Christian Celtic saints with the same (or similar) name, and a variant of it is also used as an alias of Saint Tysilio. Other Saint Suliens Confusion has arisen between different legends of Celtic saints with the name Sulien (in a variety of spellings). The most commonly encountered are: * Saint Sulien the Wise, bishop of St Davids. * Saint Suli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Restitutus
Restitutus () was a Romano-British bishop, probably from Londinium (London), one of the British delegation who attended the church synod or Council held at Arles (Arelate), in Gaul, in AD 314. The list of those who signed the ''Acta'', the decisions made by the council, included three bishops, along with a "presbyter" and a "deacon", from Britain. The British bishops were Eborius "de civitate Eboricensi" – from the city of Eboracum (York); Restitutus "de civitate Londenensi" – from the city of Londinium (London); and Adelfius "de civitate Colonia Londenensium" – from the "'' colonia'' of the people of London". The text, which survives only in a number of later manuscript copies, is clearly corrupt in assigning two bishops to London. Since London was not a ''colonia'', most authorities have agreed that Adelfius' see is misrecorded, with proposed alternatives including Lindum (Lincoln) or Camulodunum (Colchester). Notwithstanding the debate about the role of Adelfius, it s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caerleon
Caerleon ( ; ) is a town and Community (Wales), community in Newport, Wales. Situated on the River Usk, it lies northeast of Newport city centre, and southeast of Cwmbran. Caerleon is of archaeological importance, being the site of a notable Roman Empire, Roman legionary Castra, fortress, Isca Augusta, and an Iron Age hillfort.

Dafydd Ap Gwilym
Dafydd ap Gwilym ( 1315/1320 – 1350/1370) is regarded as one of the leading Welsh poets and among the great poets of Europe in the Middle Ages. Dafydd’s poetry also offers a unique window into the transcultural movement of cultural practices and preservation of culture in the face of occupation. Dafydd also helps answer questions that linger over the spread of culture. Even though it has been given less attention, cultural development in Wales differed slightly than in other parts of Europe during the same time. Life R. Geraint Gruffydd suggests 1315- 1350 as the poet's dates; others place him a little later from 1320–40 1370–80. Later tradition has it that Dafydd was born at Brogynin, Penrhyn-coch (at the time Llanbadarn Fawr parish), Ceredigion. His father, Gwilym Gam, and mother, Ardudfyl, were both from noble families. As one of noble birth it seems Dafydd did not belong to the guild of professional poets in medieval Wales, and yet the poetic tradition had be ...
