Rhwydrys is a 6th-century pre-Congregational saint of Wales.[1] His feast day is on 1 November.[1]
He was the son of Rodrem, king of Connacht in Ireland.[2] Rhwydrys is believed to have built a chapel in Llanrhwydrys on Anglesey in around 570 AD.[3]
St Rhwydrys's Church in Llanrhwydrys is dedicated to him. This church was built in the 12th century on or near his former chapel.
