Doged

Holy Martyr Doged (Doged Frenin, "the King") was a Welsh king, the son of Cedig ab Ceredig ab Cunedda or of Ceredig, and the brother of Saint Afan Buellt, whose mother was Saint Tegfedd. He is mentioned in the tale of Culhwch and Olwen. He was slain as a martyr and is honoured at Llanddoged in Conwy, where the church, built on a pre-⁠Christian burial mound, was raised to house his relics. A Welsh poem of the seventeenth century calls on him, with his holy well, for healing.
