Dogfan, also known as Doewan, was a saint and martyr who lived in 5th century Wales.[1] He is venerated in the Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, True Orthodox Church, and Roman Catholic Church, on 13 July.
He is the patron saint of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant in Wales. The town may have been the birthplace of his mother.[2] He was also one of the sons of king Brychan.[3]
He is said to have been put to death by Anglo-Saxon heathen invaders in Pembrokeshire, where a church was built to his memory.[4]
