St Germanus of Auxerre, or Garmon

The visit of Germanus of Auxerre to Britain to preach against the Pelagian heresy is recorded in the fifth-century Life of the saint, and in his Historia Brittonum, Nennius appears to quote from a lost British Life of the saint. Germanus entered Welsh tradition as Garmon, and he had a particular association with north-east Wales, confirmed by church dedications such as at Llanarmon-yn-Iâl and Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog. His cult was widespread across Wales, Cornwall and in France, where he was buried at Auxerre. He is known as St German in the dedication of the large church in Splott, Cardiff.
