British saint honored in Devon, France, as St. Quary. He is sometimes listed as Kay or Kenan. Kea was a bishop.
Saint Kea (Breton and Cornish: Ke; French: Ké) was a late 5th-century British saint from the Hen Ogledd (“Old North”)—the Brythonic-speaking parts of what is now southern Scotland and northern England. According to tradition he was chiefly active in Cornwall, Devon and Brittany, and his cult was popular in those regions as well as throughout Wales and the West Country. St Fili or Filius, to whom the parish church of Philleigh is dedicated,[1] probably came from Wales and is said to have been a companion of St Kea.[2]
