Saint Hinguéthen de Vannes
650–659 · Medieval
Biography
Saint Hinguéthen was the thirteenth bishop of the Diocese of Vannes in the 7th century, or the ninth according to the Gallia Christiana. He was the successor of Saint Budoc and admitted into his clergy Saint Mériadec, who would later succeed him. Having died in 659, he reigned in Vannes for only two years according to the Dominican Albert le Grand of Morlaix. Apparently, he did not permit any cult in the Diocese of Vannes, and the calendar of the Abbey of Saint-Méen-le-Grand, which lists his feast day on May 10, makes no mention of him. It is believed that he is the same person as Saint Ganton, who gives his name to a parish in the Diocese of Rennes.
