Шаблон:Short description

Gwyddfarch was a hermit and founder of a Celtic abbey at Meifod in Wales.[1] He was a son of Amalarius and disciple of St. Llywelyn at Welshpool. About 550 AD he founded a monastery[2] at Meifod. This establishment became the mother church of several other monasteries and was a centre of the order for over one thousand years, and within a generation the monastery had become a centre of pilgrimage.

Gwyddfarch taught Tysilio,[3] who replaced him as abbot.[4][5]

Legend holds that near the end of his life Tysilio talked the aging abbot out of a pilgrimage to Rome.[6] He is commemorated on 3 November.[7]
