Life
Saint Ustig is a Welsh saint of the 6th century, from before the canonization procedures of the Middle Ages. He was a child of King Caw of Strathclyde and, according to Frederick Holweck, the brother of Aldate, bishop of Gloucester. He appears as "Iustic" in the tale of Culhwch and Olwen.
Baring-Gould mentions another Ustig, descended from Cadell Ddyrnllwg, who was a confessor, together with Dyfrig and Eldad, at Cor Garmon in Llancarfan. Our sources preserve no feast day.
