Tryphine was a semi-legendary saint from Brittany who is believed to have lived during the 6th century. As the wife of the Breton ruler Conomor, she is central to various folk traditions and legends. She is widely honored in the Catholic tradition as a protector for children who are ill or for women facing difficult births. Her life and the stories surrounding her husband's cruelty have even been suggested as a possible influence on the later Bluebeard myth.
