Life
Saint Tudclyd (Tudglyd, Tudclud) was a saint of north Wales of the 6th century. According to tradition he was one of the seven sons of King Seithenyn, whose legendary kingdom, Cantre'r Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay, was swallowed by the sea. He would thus be the brother of Saints Gwynhoedl, Merin (Meirin), Tudno and Senewyr.
He is associated with the town of Llandudno, and the church of Saint Tudglyd at Penmachno is dedicated to him. His day is 30 May, by the Western calendar (new style). He is not to be confused with the holy woman Tudglid, a daughter of Brychan and wife of Cyngen Glodrydd, nor with Tudy (Tybie), a virgin commemorated on 30 January. No other reports of his deeds survive. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
