Saint Teulyddog
PatronageCarmarthen

Saint Teulyddog (Old Welsh: Teulydawc; Medieval Latin: Toulidauc and Thelaucus) was a medieval Welsh saint.[1]

Accounted a disciple of Saint Dubricius, Teulyddog is said to have fled with many others to Brittany during the Yellow Plague of Rhos (y Fad Felen) in the 540s. Returning to Wales, he associated himself with Saint Teilo[2] and was credited with the establishment of the clas (ecclesiastical settlement) in Carmarthen, which took its medieval name, Llan Teulyddog, in his honor.[1] Following the Norman invasion of Wales, his patronage of the town was assumed by John the Evangelist,[2] though the dedication of the Benedictine Abbey (later an Augustinian priory) remained under the joint dedication of Teulyddog and St John.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
