St. Brioc was a 5th century Welsh holy man who became the first abbot of Saint-Brieuc in Brittany. He is one of the seven founder saints of Brittany. He was at Ceredigion, he received his education in Ireland and then studied under Germanus of Auxerre. He is believed to have spent time at Rothesay on the Isle of Bute in Scotland and returned to France in 431, accompanied by St. Illtud. In 480, he settled in Armorica, and founded a monastery at Landebaeron. He then traveled to Upper Brittany where he established an oratory at St. Brieuc-des-Vaux and where he became the abbot of a monastery. He died in 502 in his own monastery. His feast day is on May 1.
