Saint Samson of Dol (born late 5th century) was a Christian religious figure who is counted among the seven founder saints of Brittany.
He was ordained bishop by Bishop Dubricius on the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter (February 22) at the beginning of Lent, which can be calculated to have fallen in the year 521, the only certain date in Samson's life.
He is one of the seven founder saints of Brittany, with Saint Pol Aurelian, Saint Tugdual (Tudwal), Saint Brieuc, Saint Malo, Saint Patern, and Saint Corentin.

 Devons Celtic Saints
There are a number of saints who have a personal connection with Devon, and in many cases that association survives to the current day.
Many of Devon's saints date from the 'age of saints' in the fifth and sixth centuries, and the Saints are not only of interest for their religious significance.
The stories that are attached to a number of these saints are of interest in their own right as they include a number of miraculous and strange events which makes for entertaining reading even for those with little religious interest.

The base of the flag is a simplified version of the flag of saint Yves, well-known in the area.
