He was murdered while still an infant by his father, Count Canmore of Brittany. His mother was St. Triphina.

Saint Tremorus of Brittany, also known as Trémeur, Treveur, and Tromeur, is a sixth-century child martyr venerated by the Roman Catholic Church. He was baptized by his mother against his stepfather's wishes. His baptismal name was Gildas, after Saint Gildas, and given the title Trech-meur ("great victory" in Breton) to distinguish him from Saint Gildas. He was murdered by his stepfather Count Conmore while being educated at a monastery in Carhaix, Brittany. Conmore killed the boy because he hated Christianity. He was the son of Saint Triphina (Triphena), who retired to a convent after her son's murder, and was taught by Gildas the Wise.
