A king in Wales, honored as a martyr at Clodock in the land of Ewyas.
Life
Holy Martyr Clydog was, according to tradition, a king of Ergyng (Ewyas), in present-day Wales, in the sixth century, the son of Clitguin, who ruled with justice and in peace. A jealous companion of his killed him with a sword on a day of hunting. The body was laid on a cart drawn by oxen; at the ford of the River Monnow the yoke broke and the oxen would go no further, and the spot was taken as God's choice for a church, Clodock.
He is honoured as a holy martyr, kept on 3 November, and some lists commemorate him also on 19 August. He is held to be a saint of the undivided Church.
