Encyclopedia > Saint Tudwal

The Welsh monk Saint Tudwal (died c. 564) was one of the seven founder Saints of Brittany. He travelled to Ireland to learn the scriptures, then became a hermit on what is now called Saint Tudwal's Island East. St Tudwal later emigrated to Brittany, settling in Lan Pabu with 72 followers, where he established a large monastery.


Tudwal was made Bishop of Tréguier on the insistence of Childebert I, king of the Franks.


Tudwal is shown in iconography as a bishop holding a dragon. His feast day is celebrated on December 1.
