Son a British chieftain, he was a hermit and disciple of Illtyd. He was identified as ‘peregrinus pro Christo’, one for whom ‘the coracle is on the sea.’ With 12 companions he travelled from Wales to Brittany and founded churches there. He is known also as Paulinus of Wales and also, in Brittany, as Pol de Léon. He also stayed with his sister in Cornwall. For some years he lived as a hermit near Llandovery and founded a monastery at Llandeusant. The order of the events prior to his death is not clear. He was 104 years old at his death.
