Saint Eigrad

Saint Eigrad or Eugrad was a sixth-century Welsh saint[1] and the founder of St Eugrad's Church in Llaneugrad, Anglesey.

[2] Eigrad is mentioned in Caradoc's Life of Gildas (12th century).

[3] He was a son of king Caw of Strathclyde, a brother of saints Gildas,[4] and Samson of York[5] and was a student of Saint Illtud.

[6] In 605 AD[7] he founded a church at Llaneugrad, Anglesey[8][9] and his brother Gallgo, founded a church at Llanallgo, nearby.

[10] Today the two churches are in the same parish.
