Saint Tudwal〔Also known as * Tual * Tudgual * Tugdual * Tugual * Pabu, or Papu * Tugdualus (Latin) * Tudgualus (Latin)〕 (died c. 564) was a Breton monk. He is considered one of the seven founder saints of Brittany. Tudwal was said to be a son of Hoel Mawr (Hoel I). Tudwal travelled to Ireland to learn the scriptures, then became a hermit on what is now called Saint Tudwal's Island East off North Wales. Tudwal later emigrated to Brittany, settling in Lan Pabu with 72 followers, where he established a large monastery under the patronage of his cousin, King Deroch of Domnonée. 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, now the symbol of Tregor. His feast day is celebrated on 1 December. ==Famous people with that name== * Tugdual Menon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tudwal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
