, a Briton of See also:Strathclyde, called by the Goidels In Glaschu, " the See also:Grey See also:Hound," was, according to the legends preserved in the lives which remain, of royal descent
.
His See also:mother when with See also:child was thrown down from a See also:- HILL

.
It is possible that she may have been a See also:nun, as a See also:convent had been founded in earlier times on Traprain Law
.
The See also:life then describes the training of the boy by Servanus, but the date of the latter renders this impossible
.
Returning to Strathclyde Kentigern lived for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

king and See also:clergy
.
This See also:story is partially attested by Welsh documents, in which Kentigern appears as the bishop of Garthmwl, apparently the ruler of the region about Glasgow
.
Subsequently he was opposed by a See also:pagan king, called Morken, whose relatives after his See also:death succeeded in forcing the See also:saint to retire from Strathclyde
.
He thereupon took See also:refuge with St See also:David at Menevia (St David's), and eventually founded a monastery at Llanel.wy (St See also:Asaph's), for which purpose he received grants from Maelgwn, See also:prince of Gwynedd
.
After the See also:battle of Ardderyd in 573 in which King Rhydderch, See also:leader of the See also:Christian party in Strathclyde, was victorious, Kentigern was recalled
.
He fixed his see first at Hoddam in See also:Dumfriesshire, but afterwards
returned to Glasgow
.
He is credited with missionary See also:work in See also:Galloway and See also:north of the Firth of Forth, but most of the dedications to him which survive are north of the Mounth in the upper valley of the See also:Dee
.
