Dwywe

[1] She was a native of the ancient Cumbric-speaking kingdoms, which stretched from south-western Scotland down as far as South Yorkshire, and is estimated to have been born between 465 and 585.

[2] She may have been the wife of Dunawd Fyr and mother of a son, Saint Deiniol,[3] who founded monasteries on Deeside and at Bangor.

She is remembered in a church of [4] St Dwywe.

She was a princess, the daughter of Gwallog ap Lleenog of the royal house based in the Kingdom of Elmet, east and south of Leeds.

Her father and the family were forced to flee after a war against the Angles of Bernicia (who were based around Northumberland and Durham).
