Who was Malo?

Saint Malo was the mid-6th century founder of Saint-Malo in Brittany, France. He is one of the seven founder saints of Brittany.

Details of Malo's career are preserved in three medieval 'Lives' which seem to include incidents associated with several different people of similar names. Despite this confusion, it appears that Malo was born about the year 520, probably in Wales.

His name may derive from the Old Breton mac'h and luh.
