Saint Urielle was a 7th-century Christian saint from the Armorica region, also referred to as Eurielle, Curielle, or Arielle. According to Breton tradition, she was a daughter of the legendary king Hoël III (often identified with Judaël) and his wife Pritelle. As a member of a royal family, she was the sister of several other saints, including Onenne and Judicael. She is remembered as a holy princess who lived a life of deep devotion to her faith.
Life and tradition
Historical accounts place Urielle within the royal lineage of Armorica. As the eldest daughter of King Judaël, she lived alongside her siblings, who were also recognized as saints. Local traditions describe her and her sister, Onenne, as holy princesses who avoided worldly temptations to focus entirely on spiritual merit and preparing for heaven.
Veneration and legacy
She served as the patroness of her own parish, which was eventually incorporated into Trédias in 1819. Her feast day is observed on October 1. A colorful wooden statue representing the saint, dating from the 16th century, is preserved within the Parish Church of Saint-Pierre.
