From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Tydfil (or in modern Welsh, Tudfyl) was a 5th century female saint from Merthyr Tydfil in Glamorgan, Wales

According to legend, she was one of the many daughters of King Brychan of Brycheiniog. She is said to have met her death at Merthyr, around 480, by the hands of, probably Welsh, pagans, although they were later said to have been Saxons. Her feast day is 23 August.
