Tegfedd

Venerable Tegfedd was the daughter of Amwn Ddu ab Emyr Llydaw and settled with her brother, Saint Tydecho, in the district of Mawddwy in Meirionnydd, Wales. According to a poem of Dafydd Llwyd to Tydecho, her beauty attracted a local chieftain, Cynon, who carried her off by force; after a sharp encounter he had to give her back unharmed and, to appease Tydecho, make him a grant of the estate of Garthbeibio. No church is known to be dedicated to her. The calendar in Peniarth MS. 219 gives her commemoration as 18 December.

She is not to be confused with Tegfedd, daughter of Tegid Foel and mother of Saint Afan Buallt, who was slain by the Saxons near Caerleon.
