Saint Tudwal (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.
