About the year 525, Daniel ap Dunawd, Abbot of Bangor Is Coed, in
Flintshire, built a College in Caernarvonshire, for the instruction of
youth and support of the Clergy of this part of North Wales; and probably
designed it as a Cell, or member of the other Bangor, and continued so
till Prince Maelgwn, or Maelgwyn Gwynedd, a wicked Prince in his youth,
but reformed in his advanced age, among other works of Piety, created
this College into a Bishoprick, and Archbishop Dubricius, or Dyfrig,
consecrated the said Daniel Bishop thereof, about the year 550; and about
four years after, he died, December 10, and was buried at Bardsey, or
Enlli. There is but a very slender account of Daniel’s successors till
after the Conquest; from which time there seems to be a regular
succession of Prelates in this See, though by reason of the wars, they
had not all of them a quiet enjoyment. The Revenues of this Bishoprick
were valued 25th Henry VIII. at £151 3_s._ 8_d._; the clear value £134
16_s._ 4_d._ The next account is, that according to Bede, there was a
Bishop here, St. Awstin the Monk, who is called Ellodu, Anno Dom. 601.
However, Elbodius was certainly Bishop of North Wales, and died, as some
say, A.D. 806, others 811. There is no account who succeeded him.
Gildas Cambrensis dedicated his Book to a Bishop of Venetia; he
flourished A.D. 860. Mordaf is mentioned by Wynne to have gone to Rome
about the year 940; about the confirmation of Howel Dda’s Laws.
