SAINT HERVE 

Saint Herve (Herveus) was a 6th century Welsh Saint and Singer, blind from his childhood. His father, Hyvarnion, had taken refuge in Brittany. 

A TEACHER AND MINSTREL

There St Herve grew up to become a teacher and minstrel. Idolised by the people, he lived to a great age, dying about the year 575. 

In art he is represented as blind, and led about by a wolf. 

(From The Book of Saints, 1921, by the Monks of Ramsgate)
