   IS SHE CATHOLIC?!!!
   
   
   INFO ON HER-
   Princess Gwen was one of the daughters of King Budic II of Brittany. She was known
   to the French as St. Blanche, and sometimes, in written Latin, as Alba Trimammis.
   She married twice, first to Fracan, a cousin of King Cado of Dumnonia, by whom
   she was mother of Saints Wethnoc, Iacob and Winwaloe.. Together they crossed the
   Channel to escape a pestilence that was ravaging the Dumnonian countryside, and
   settled at PlouFracan in Domnonée. Gwen later bore Fracan a daughter, Chreirbia,
   also. After Fracan's death, Gwen married Eneas Ledewig (the Breton) and became
   the mother ofSt. Cadfan. Gwen was twice kidnapped by Anglo-Saxon pirates and
   carried off to England. Each time, however, she escaped by walking back across
   the Channel to Brittany. In the twilight of her life, she retired to Whitchurch
   Canonicorum (Dorset) in Eastern Dumnonia. Here she lived for man years in
   her small hermitage, before the Saxons had their revenge at last, ransacked her
   home and murdered her. St. Wite's shrine remains there still in the church built
   over her grave. It was one of only two in the whole of Britain to survive the
   Reformation. St. Gwen should not be confused with other St. Gwens: the Queen
   of Elmet, St. Gwenferch Brychan Brycheiniog and the Queen of Cerniw, St. Gwen
   ferch Cynyr Ceinfarfog (Fair-Beard). She died a martyr for her beliefs in God.

   Hey Gwen, here you go:
   St. Gwen Teirbron
   (Born c. AD 499)
   (Welsh: Gwen; Latin: Candida; English: Wite)
   Princess Gwen the Triple-Breasted was one of the daughters of King Budic II of Brittany, born around the turn of the 6th century. She was known to the French as St. Blanche, and sometimes, in written Latin, as Alba Trimammis. She married twice, first to Fracan, a cousin of King Cado of Dumnonia, by whom she was mother of Saints Wethnoc, Iacob and Winwaloe. Hence the reason for her being born with three breasts was revealed. Together they crossed the Channel to escape a pestilence that was ravaging the Dumnonian countryside, and settled at PlouFracan in Domnonée. Gwen later bore Fracan a daughter, Chreirbia, also.
   
   After Fracan's death, Gwen married Eneas Ledewig (the Breton) and became the mother of St. Cadfan. Gwen was twice kidnapped by Anglo-Saxon pirates and carried off to England. Each time, however, she escaped by walking back across the Channel to Brittany. In the twilight of her life, she retired to Whitchurch Canonicorum (Dorset) in Eastern Dumnonia. Here she lived for many years in her small hermitage, before the Saxons had their revenge at last, ransacked her home and murdered her in the mid-6th century. St. Wite's shrine remains there still in the church built over her grave. It was one of only two in the whole of Britain to survive the Reformation. St. Gwen Teirbron (Triple-Breasted) should not be confused with other St. Gwens: the Queen of Elmet, St. Gwen ferch Brychan Brycheiniog and the Queen of Cerniw, St. Gwen ferch Cynyr Ceinfarfog (Fair-Beard).
