Life

Saint Rydoch is counted among the sons of Brychan. The earliest list says he went to France, where a hill bears his name, and late manuscripts also call him Rhidorch, Rhodawrch or Cadog and add that his brother Dyfrig made him a bishop and that he lies buried in France. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
