5th or 6th century. Saint Tudy was a hermit who founded monasteries and evangelized in Brittany, where place-names and dedications memorialise his activity or that of his disciples in areas such as Ile-Tudy on the mouth of the Odet (Finistere), near Quimper. He appears to have been a disciple of Saint Mawes (f.d. November 18) and fellow-worker with Saint Corentinus (f.d. December 12). There is also a parish in Cornwall named after him, which may indicate his presence there, too. He may also have been a companion of Saint Brioc (f.d. May 1) (Benedictines, Farmer).
