Conan of Cornwall

Conan was a medieval Bishop of Cornwall.

Conan was nominated about 926 by King Æthelstan.^[1] He was consecrated before 931. He died between 937 and 955.^[2]

However, in the view of historian D. P. Kirby, it was almost certainly in 936 not 926 that Æthelstan "established Bishop Conan at St. Germans".^[3]
