Felec or Felix was an obscure 5th- or 6th-century
Saint Felicity (alias Felicitas) of Rome.[3]
Saint Felix was said to have had the miraculous gift of being able to communicate with lions, cats, and other
Victoria, Australia not far from Mount St Gwinear
.
Felec could be equated with Felix, a supposed early king of either
Arthurian romances, but this reference is very late. The character is probably mythical, having been confused with the 7th-century saint Felix of Burgundy. Like Lyonesse, Dunwich
, the centre of his diocese, was inundated by the flood that led to the destruction of Lyonesse.
Piala is said to have been the sister of Saint Gwinear.
