Saint Pyr
Pyr (Pŷr ; sometimes known as Piro in English) was a Welsh abbot of the 6th century who may later have been revered as a saint by some (though he was never canonized).

He has been described in one handbook as being "an unsuitable abbot and...one of those Celtic 'saints' who would never have been canonized by any formal process".Farmer, David Hugh. ''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'' 5th rev. ed., Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2011, p. 446 , but there seems no evidence that he was ever considered as a saint by anybody.
