Meaning & History
Saint Keyne was a 5th-century holy woman and hermitess who is said to have traveled widely through what is now South Wales and Cornwall. The only literary source on the life of Saint Keyne, however, is the Vita Sanctae Keynae, which was edited by John of Tynemouth and included in his Sanctilogium Angliae Walliae Scotiae et Hiberniae in the 14th century.
