The comment on the possible connection between Saint Bega and this Begnet may come close to original research; I haven't seen a source that links the two, but if you look at Bega, it seems obvious. I made the connection only after pursuing a remark (which I haven't cited here) that Begnet's name contains the word-element Bec (or Beg). In his Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise, Xavier Delamarre gives becos as the continental Celtic word for "bee," with the Old Irish as bech. This reminded me of "Saint Bee," a search for which on Wikipedia leads to Saint Bega. To my surprise, I found the same stories as I had found for Saint Begnet. I don't presume that this is original; I'm sure the connection has been made in a published source that hasn't turned up for me online. If so, the two figures may be one and the same; on the other hand, it may be that the similarity of names caused a conflation of two originally distinct figures. But note that Bega is supposed to be an Irish princess. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:00, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I now see that one of my sources has a fuller account of this in an article that expands on what appears in Obits and Martyrology. Will clarify. This sloppy research is what comes of writing an encyclopedia article while on holiday. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:12, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
