Life
Saint Gwladys (Gladys) was, according to tradition, one of the daughters of King Brychan of Brycheiniog and, in some sources, the eldest of them. She was the wife of the saint-king Gwynllyw Milwr of Gwynllywg and the mother of Saint Cadoc the Wise, and of Cynidr, Bugi, Cyfyw, Maches, Glywys and Egwine. The Life of Cadoc gives two accounts of how she became Gwynllyw's wife: in one she was asked for properly, in the other she was carried off by force. Her main church today is at Bargoed.
