Felec or Felix was an obscure 5th- or 6th-century British saint active in Cornwall.
[2] Later generations mistook him for the female Saint Felicity (alias Felicitas) of Rome.
[3] Saint Felix was said to have had the miraculous gift of being able to communicate with lions, cats, and other feline creatures.
Felec could be equated with Felix, a supposed early king of either Cornwall or Lyonesse and the father of Mark of Cornwall, according to the Prose Tristan (c. 1235) and later Italian Arthurian romances, but this reference is very late.
The character is probably mythical, having been confused with the 7th-century saint Felix of Burgundy.
