This he tried to rectify by turning some female saints into men, and splitting or merging saints that worked close to each other.
For example, he suggested that Non was two saints, one the mother of St David and the other a man who travelled and established communities. General interest.

Tracking Wikipedia … so the barbarians don't win. View all posts by genderdesk. None of this is mentioned on Wikipedia, obviously. That is some very interesting scholarship, and I have added the source to the article. Also, according to this dictionary of saints canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, it looks like the Roman martyrology may have deleted her co-martyrs.
If you remember, Ursula also had a lot of co-martyrs, 11, or so , much to the delight of both the female religious devotees of the Holy Land, and the church in Cologne that did a brisk business in relics. I can suggest a couple of other reasons for the name.
People were often named for saints, and still are. Also on taking religious orders often there is a new name as part of the ceremony, not sure how this is decided, perhaps they take the name of a saint. For instance you may remember Thekla the Nun , the 9th century hymnist, was named for Thekla the saint, the legendary companion of St. Thank you for these resources. They are valuable. I have been trying to find the text, ideally with translation, of the Vita of St Keyne to this end; and in the process I stumbled across your post.
No luck yet tho! I always feel an impulse to be kind to Gilbert Doble. It sounds as if he had a hard time in life, and he did so much with so little. There were a lot of clergy like that back then, who studied whatever was around them, people like Henrik Geurtjens or John Jamieson, who made lasting contributions to academic scholarship.
These days it seems they are more likely to be aspiring theater majors than scholars. But…ask and ye shall receive. I must look at that. But I did find what I was looking for, via those Downside Review articles — awful paywall -, and posted it last night. So… text and translation here:. I have also found out the objection to the Doble account. Not surprising that contemporary sources seem to dismiss it.
As the population increased, a secular or an ecclesiastical chief was obliged to obtain an extension of territory, or would be held to have forfeited his claims as a chief. This led to incessant feud among the Celtic princes; it forced the saints to be continually striving to obtain fresh grants of land and make fresh settlements.
When there was no more chance of obtaining land in Ireland, they sent swarms to Britain and to Brittany, to found colonies there, under the jurisdiction of the saint. See here the story of the miracle of how she got land for monastery. The contains a more comprehensive selection of Cornish articles.

Unfortunately, the children choked on the bones. Gwinear was beheaded at the site of his church, massacred by the Cornish pagan King Teudar along with the rest of the company of that he had brought with him from Ireland.
Sancred killed his father by accident and had to live as a swineherd in penance, later being revered for his ability to cure pigs. And finally, saints could make what look like quite odd decisions. Instead he chose to be the patron of mad dogs. Much less trouble. I went to St Neot school as a child and we often learned about the magical doings of St Neot.
The St. Neot community website has rather more sober historical information, including on the likelihood that the St Neot grew up in Glastonbury, preached in Cornwall and was eventually buried in Huntingdonshire.
