Rhigyfarch

Rhigyfarch

Rhigyfarch (sometimes anglicized to Ricemarch) (1057-1099), eldest son of Sulien, whom he succeeded in 1088 as Bishop of St David's, was the author of the standard "Life of Saint David". The original text was written in Latin but was translated into Welsh later in the Middle Ages as "Buchedd Dewi" and did much to enhance the cult status of Saint David in Wales.
