• Source: Dachuna

Dachuna or Dachun was a medieval virgin saint venerated in Cornwall. Probably British in origin, Dachuna is known from the list of resting-places of Hugh Candidus, authored around 1155. Dachuna, along with Medan and Credan, were allegedly associates of Saint Petroc, whom they rested alongside at Bodmin Priory. There is no documentation of a Dachuna in Cornwall beyond Hugh Candidus' list; male bishops and saints with similar names are known in Ireland. According to Nicholas Orme, Hugh Candidus may have conflated another location with Bodmin and incorrectly ascribed the saints to the priory.
