David, Bishop of Wales, c.544
Despite the overwhelming victory of the pagan Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, in the 5th century, one part of Britain continued in the ways of Christianity - Wales. In this last stronghold of the old Britons, the faith sprung from Glastonbury continued to flourish. To the family of one Sanctus in Menevia there was born a son David ("the beloved"). While fairly young, he founded a monastery near Menevia and became its abbot. In time, David founded 11 monasteries in Wales, and made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He became a leader and guardian of the Christian faith in Wales. Eventually he moved the center of episcopal government to Menevia, which is still and episcopal city, now called Ty-Dewi (House of David). David is revered and loved to this day as patron of Wales, foremost Christian priest, and courageous leader.
