Life
Saint Hoedloyw was one of the sons of Seithenin, king of Maes Gwyddno, whose land was flooded by the sea and now lies beneath Cardigan Bay. After the disaster all of Seithenin's sons became saints or monks of Bangor-on-Dee. The only source for Hoedloyw is a single entry in the Iolo manuscripts; Gwynhoedl was his brother. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
