Life

Saint Teon, a bishop, is not entered as a saint in the old genealogies, only as the grandfather of Saint Llywelyn. A manuscript of about 1670 says he was a saint and bishop of Cor Illtyd, then bishop at Gloucester and archbishop in London, from which he was driven by the pagan Saxons and went to Brittany; the last part comes from Geoffrey of Monmouth. Another text gives him as of Cegidfa (Guilsfield). He is grandfather of Saint Llywelyn of Welshpool. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
