Life
Saint Hawystl, a virgin, is said to be a daughter of Brychan, but she occurs only in the late lists of his children. Her name resembles Tudhistil of the early Brychan list and may be a corrupt form of it. The manuscripts say her church, Llan Hawystl, is at Caerloyw (Gloucester); the place has been sought at Aust, near Bristol. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
