Life

Saint Tudhistil, a virgin and martyr, is counted a daughter of Brychan. The old list of his children says only that from her Merthir Tudhistil is named. The place is uncertain but seems to be the vanished chapel of Capel Tydyst in the parish of Llandeilo Fawr, Carmarthenshire; a plaint in the Welsh laws calls it Llan Dydystyl in Maenor Fabon. Her sisters Tybieu and Lluan are tied to neighbouring parishes. No life survives; the veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
