St. Keyne (Keyna or Cain) was one of the twenty-four children of King Brychan of Brecknock, Wales. She refused several suitors' offers of marriage and became a hermitess on the banks of the Severn River in Somersetshire, England. After living there for several years, during which she traveled widely, she was persuaded by her nephew, St. Cadoc, to return to Wales, though exactly where she spent her last days is not known. During her travels, she founded numerous churches in South Wales, Cornwall, and perhaps somerset. Her feast day is October 8.

I am interested in St Keynes connection to Keynsham and who her follwers were that made an obscure sect there. I would like to know more about them. and what they believed and practiced. I was told she was spelt keene there, but suppose this is the same saint. I have met a family called Kenner who are descended form her.

Interesting, but I'm looking for the Latin form of her name and didn't find it here.
