St. Cybi (ca. 6th century A.D.), a.k.a. Cuby, was born in Cornwall, England. He is a cousin of St. David of Wales. He refused to be made King and went to Monmouthshire. Then he left for Ireland where he spent four years with St. Enda on Aranmore. After a dispute with a priest named Fintan, he went to southern Meath. At Meath, he founded a monastery on the island of Anglesey, near Wales, and evangelized the area. This is where he spent his last years until his death.
