Life
Saint Blenwyd, also written Blenwydd, is a Welsh saint of the undivided Church, known only from late genealogical lists.
His name occurs in two lists of the children of Caw, as a son, in the collection called the Iolo manuscripts, and only there. Some take him to be the patron of Coedana in Anglesey, and according to another view the church of Llangwyllog is dedicated to him. Baring-Gould, in the Lives of the British Saints, writes that nothing seems to be known of him.
