Saint Afan of Wales Biography
Saint Afan of Wales was a Bishop. Nothing else is thought about him for certain as different authors have made him a relative of the third century Cynedda Wledig, King of Britain, a cousin of sixth century Saint David of Wales, and the tenth-century religious administrator Juan who was killed by Viking trespassers, yet nobody today knows without a doubt.
The congregation committed to him at Lanafan Fawr, Powys, Wales was evidently a site of journeys in times past, and site of at any rate one supernatural occurrence. The English Lord Philip de Braose went to the zone to chase and chose that the congregation was the best hotel for him and his mutts. When he woke at dawn, his pooches had gone distraught and he was visually impaired. His sight was just reestablished by making his readiness to battle in the Crusades.
