Life
Saint Llywes gives his name to the church of Llowes in Radnorshire, called Podum Liuhess in the Book of Llandaff, the church of Saints Meilig and Llywes. The Life of Gildas by the monk of Rhuys names him Lyuhes, joined by Maelog or Meilig in the district of Elmail. Nothing else is known of him. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
