Life
Tewdwr Brycheiniog appears only in the Iolo manuscripts, as a son of Nefydd and great-grandson of Brychan, with no other source as a saint. The herald Hugh Thomas calls him Teudor or Theodor ap Nevith, successor to the throne of Brecknock, and says he may have lived at Crucas. Tewdwr Mawr, son of Emyr Llydaw, is nowhere counted a saint. His existence as a saint is very doubtful, and no canonization is recorded.
