Excerpt: Saint Aaron of Aleth (or, in Breton , Saint Aihran ) was a mid-sixth century hermit , monk and abbot at a monastery on Cézembre , a small island near Aleth , opposite Saint-Malo in Brittany , France . Some sources say that he was born of British stock in Armorican Domnonia .Aaron was a Welshman who lived in solitude near Lamballe and Pleumeur-Gautier , before finally settling in Aleth. He attracted numerous visitors while there, including Saint Malo , it is said, in 544, and became their abbot. He died soon afterwards.
