Life
Saint Ciwg is a Welsh saint of the undivided Church, the son of Arawn (Aron), son of Cynfarch Gul, of the line of Coel Hen. Rees places him among the saints of the middle of the sixth century.
Cynfarch was a northern prince and the father of the famous Urien Rheged. The church of Llangiwg (Llanguicke) in Glamorgan is dedicated to Ciwg, and Browne Willis gives his festival as 29 June. Among the Sayings of the Wise there is one attributed to him, in which he is called the wise bard of Gwynhylwg, so that he appears to have been a bard as well as a saint.
