Life

Saint Gwrygon Goddeu, also called Gwrhai or Gwrai, was one of the many sons of Caw. A manuscript of about 1400 gives him as a monk of Bangor Deiniol in Caernarvonshire and says he settled at Penstrowed in Arwystli, near Newtown, where he founded a small church. He may be the same as Garai. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
