Life

Saint Gurhaual (also Guorhauarn or Gurthauar) was abbot of Llantwit, counted among the three great abbots of the diocese of Llandaff. His name appears as a witness to several grants in the Book of Llandaff, under the bishops Oudoceus, Berthguin and Trichan. Nothing else is known of him. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
