Life

Saint Hunydd is counted a married daughter of Brychan. An early note says she lies under Meltheu, that she was the wife of Tudwal Befr and mother of Cynin, patron of the church of Llangynin in Carmarthenshire. Some lists call her Ninctis or Goleudyd; others, by a misreading, Nefydd. The exact place of her tomb is not known. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
