Gwrfyw

Venerable Gwrfyw (also Gorfyw) was a saint of Wales, a son of Pasgen, son of Urien Rheged, and the father of Saint Nidan. A church is said to have been dedicated to him on the island of Anglesey, but its site is no longer known; at Bangor there once stood a Capel Gorfyw, long since vanished.

The only written trace of him seems to be the name of a priest Gurbiu, who appears as a witness in a grant to Llandaff in Monmouthshire in the time of Bishop Oudoceus. The name is the same as that of Gorve, venerated in Brittany. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
