estaV)lislied, and liis pupils properly disciplined. Eventually, 

 when he got the monastery full, and had many docile disciples, 

 chief among whom was the faithful Truly, who partook of his 

 spirit, he gladly accepted grants, and planted Jauns in all 

 directions. 



We are not informed of S. Winwaloe having gone to Corn- 

 wall, but it is very probable that he did so, or sent some of his 

 disciples to establish there daughter monasteries, where recruits 

 might be gathered for tlie parent house. Indeed, so sparse was 

 the population in Brittany that he must necessarily have looked 

 to Britain to svipply him with disciples. 



His biographer describes him as a man of moderate height, 

 with a bright and smiling countenance ; he was very patient and 

 gentle in his dealings with men. He always wore a habit of 

 goatskin. He would never sit down in church, but either stand, 

 kneel, or prostrate himself. He slept on birch-bark fibre, and 

 ate girdle cakes, baked in ashes, or dumplings with vegetables, 

 and a little cheese or iish, but no meat, and his drink was cider. 

 In Lent he took only two good meals in the week. 



His death is set down by Lobineau as taking place in 504, 

 but De la Borderie says 532 



His mother was sister of Amwn l)du, Pedrediii and 

 Umbrafel; consequently he was first cousin to S. Samson, S. 

 Padarn, and 8. Maglorius. Now S. Samson died between 565 

 and 576, and S. Padarn about 560, S. Maglorius not till 586. 



Again : Grallo was king between 480 and 520, according to 

 Dom Plaine, and probably Winwaloe survived him. There is, 

 however, no mention in his life of his having been mixed up 

 with the commotions raised by S. Samson in 555 for the restora- 

 tion of Judual, so that he may have died before or at that date. 



Cadfan, Winwaloe's half brother, considerably older than 

 himself, crossed into Wales from Britain at the beginning of the 

 6th century — probably about 537, and as Cadfan displayed great 

 activity in Wales, founding churches, he cannot then have been a 

 very old man. Ehiwal is almost certainly the settler who came 

 over sliortly after Fragan, Winwaloe's father, and who speedily 

 made himself prince in Domnonia. He was contemporary with 

 King Arthur, and was his cousin. This all leads to the conclusion
