Saint Tudwal (died c. 564), also known asTual,Tudgual,Tugdual,Tugual,Pabu,Papu, orTugdualus (Latin), was aBretonmonk, considered to be one of theseven founder saints of Brittany.

Tudwal was said to be the son ofHoel Mawr (Hoel I) and his wife,Pompeia, and a brother ofSaint Leonorus.^[1] Tudwal travelled to Ireland to learn thescriptures, and then became ahermit onSaint Tudwal's Island East, off the coast ofNorth Wales. Tudwal later immigrated to Brittany, settling in Lan Pabu with 72 followers, where he established a largemonastery under the patronage of his cousin, King Deroch ofDomnonée. He traveled to Paris to obtain confirmation of the land grant from KingChildebert I, who insisted he beBishop of Tréguier.^[2]

Tudwal is shown iniconography as a bishop holding adragon, now the symbol ofTregor. Hisfeast day is celebrated on 1 December.^[3]

Tro Breizh (Breton for "Tour of Brittany") is a pilgrimage that links the towns of the seven founding saints of Brittany. These seven saints were Celtic monks from Britain from around the 5th or 6th century who went to Brittany to minister to the Britons who had settled there after the Anglo-Saxon incursions in their homeland.^[4] Among the first bishoprics wasTréguier, Saint Tudwal's town.
