Life

Venerable Eithras (Ethrias) is counted among the "saints and learned men" of the line of Emyr Llydaw who came from Armorica with their kinsman Cadfan, became saints at Llantwit and Llancarfan, and afterwards went with him to Bardsey. Their churches are in Gwynedd. Nicolas Roscarrock says he has a chapel in Merioneth near Llandanwg and that, by tradition, he was a brother of Tanwg; the Welsh pedigrees do not support this. His day is not known. He is venerated in the undivided Church.
