Tags: Saint.
Saint Winnoc (c. 640-c. 716/717) was an abbot or prior of Wormhout who came from Wales. Three lives of this saint are extant. The best of these the first life was written by a monk of St. Bertin in the middle of the ninth century or perhaps a century earlier. St. Winnoc is generally called a Breton but the Bollandist Charles de Smedt shows that he was more probably of Welsh origin. He is said to have been of noble birth of the same house as the kings of Domnonia.
