Life
Venerable Gwynhoedl (Gwnadl, Gwynnoedyl) was one of the sons of Seithenin, king of Maes Gwyddno, whose land was swallowed by the sea and now lies under Cardigan Bay. After that disaster he and his brothers are said to have become monks at Bangor Iscoed. He is patron of the church at Llangwnadl in Caernarfonshire. His feast is on 1 January.
