Life

Saint Llyfab was a son of Alan Fyrgan ab Emyr Llydaw, a brother of Saints Lleuddad and Llonio and a cousin of Saint Cadfan, with whom he came from Brittany. According to the Iolo manuscripts he was one of the company that went with Cadfan to Bardsey. The same sources wrongly make him bishop of Llandaff, by confusion with Lunapeius. The only reliable statement is that he went to Bardsey. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
