Life

Saint Gwyddloyw (Gwodloyw) was a son of Glywys Cernyw and a kinsman of Saint Cadoc. The late and uncertain Iolo manuscripts call him bishop of Llandaff and confessor to the saints of Cor Catwg, that is Llancarfan, but the name seems confused with that of a later bishop. The Welsh do not count him a church founder. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
