He was a disciple of Saint Winwaloe. He founded a priory which is today the city of Châteaulin.
The local church remembers him as a deacon. He was invoked for a good apple crop, and offerings of cider were made to him. After his monastery at Taurac was destroyed by the Franks he went to live in seclusion in the woods, first in Brittany and later in Ireland. He died on 14 November aged 83.
