Saint Teulyddog (Old Welsh: Teulydawc; Medieval Latin: Toulidauc and Thelaucus) was a medieval Welsh saint.[1]
Accounted a disciple of Saint Dubric, Teulyddog is said to have fled with many others to Brittany during the Yellow Plague of Rhos in the 540s. Returning to Wales, he associated himself with Saint Teilo[2] and was credited with the establishment of the monastic community (clas) in Carmarthen, which took its medieval name Llanteulyddog in his honor.[1] Following the Norman Conquest, his patronage of the town was assumed by John the Evangelist.[2]
