Efflamm

Saint Efflamm is a semi-legendary penitent who was born in Britain and who died in Brittany. His feast is 6 November.

== Legendary biography == According to a late tradition forged by the Treguier scriptorium in the 11th century to legitimize the origins of the monastery of Tréguier and the ecclesiastical properties in the surrounding area, Efflam was the son of an Irish king. Born in the late-fifth, early-sixth century, married very young to Enora, daughter of an Irish king, he took a vow of chastity. An angel helped him to resist temptation, and he fled to Brittany, disembarking at Plestin-les-Grèves, in Trégor, where he had lived for a time in the company of Saint Iestyn.
