medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Is it possible that "Hermedyn" is a variant of Erme, Ermel, Ermin or
something like that? There are a number of obscure Breton and Cornish
saints with names like that. I found a few of them in the saints' index at
http://users.erols.com/saintpat/ss/ss-index.htm
Good luck
