Tewdrig or Tewdrig ap Teithfallt (also Tewdric Latinized Theodoric; fl. sixth century) was a king of the post-Roman Kingdom of Glywysing. He abdicated in favour of his son Meurig and retired to live a hermitical life but was recalled to lead his son’s army against an intruding Saxon force. He won the battle but was mortally wounded.The context of the battle is one of Britons versus invading Saxons without explicit religious overtones.
