Biography

Saint Sadwen of Wales, also known as Sadurn and Sadwrn, was born around 485 in Brittany, in modern-day France. He came from a noble lineage, being the son of Bicanus Farchog of Llydaw, and was the brother of Saint Illtyd. Sadwen's early education was entrusted to Saint Garmon of Manaw, who played a significant role in shaping his spiritual and intellectual development.
