Cadoc the Wise, St (died c. 570)

Welsh martyr. He founded the abbey and school of Llancarvan in Glamorganshire, Wales. According to the most trustworthy accounts, he later migrated to Brittany. Having returned to Britain he was martyred by the pagan Saxon invaders near Weedon. His feast is on 24 January.

Certain old proverbs and fables, including ‘Doethineb Cattwg Ddoeth/Wisdom of Cadoc the Wise’ and ‘Dammegion Cattwg Ddoeth/Fables of Cadoc the Wise’, have been ascribed to him.
