Saint Hervé ({{c.}} 521 – 556 AD), also known as Harvey, Herveus, Houarniaule, or Huva, was a sixth century Breton saint. Along with Saint Ives, he is one of the most popular of the Breton saints. He was born in Guimiliau (Gwimilio).

Legend

He was the son of a bard named Hyvarnion, a former member of the court of Childebert I. His mother was Rivanone.

Hervé was born blind. With his disciple Guiharan, Hervé lived near Plouvien as a hermit and bard. He had the power to cure animals and was accompanied by a domesticated wolf. His wolf devoured the ox or donkey Hervé used in plowing. Hervé then preached a sermon that was so eloquent that the wolf begged to be allowed to serve in the ox's stead. Hervé's wolf pulled the plow from that day on.

He was joined by disciples and refused any ordination or earthly honour, accepting only to be ordained as an exorcist. He died in 556 AD and was buried at Lanhouarneau.

Veneration

Saint Hervé is venerated throughout Brittany. His feast day is 17 June.
