Legend has it that a Scottish prince of Powys was hunting with his dogs in hot pursuit of a rabbit. It hid placidly in the clothing of St. Melangell, which greatly surprised the prince. The dogs cowered and fled. At this miracle, the prince gave St. Melangell land where she established a community of women religious.
