St. Meirchion (Born c.AD 496) (Welsh: Meirchion; Latin: Marcianus; English: Merin) St. Meirchion
was a prince of Rhos, the youngest son of King Owain
Danwyn. Like his brother, St. Seiriol,
he entered the religious life. He lived as a hermit just
north of Rhydlios where the remains of ' St. Merin's Church' can still be seen
today. This was in the kingdom of another brother, Einion
of Lleyn. He should not be confused with St. Merin from Bodfelin on Ynys Mon
(Anglesey) or with King Meirchion of
Meirionydd.
