Life
Venerable Henwg was a saint of Caerleon upon Usk in the fifth century, a church builder, honoured at Llanhennock. His name does not appear in the genealogies of the saints. Late documents in the Iolo Manuscripts make him the father of Taliesin, "chief of the bards", and a bard of the community of Saint Cadoc at Llancarfan, but Baring-Gould does not give credit to these links.
