Saint Teilo ((ラテン語:Teliarus)〔 or ''ラテン語:Teliavus''; (ブルトン語:Teliau)〔Wainewright, John. "(St. Teilo )" in ''The Catholic Encyclopedia'', Vol. XIV. Robert Appleton Co. (New York), 1912. Accessed 20 Jul 2013.〕 or '; (フランス語:Télo)〔 or ''フランス語:Théleau''; – 9 February ), also known by his Cornish name Eliud,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Teilo )〕 was a British Christian monk, bishop, and founder of monasteries and churches from Penalun (Penally) near Tenby in Pembrokeshire, south Wales. Reputed to be a cousin, friend, and disciple of Saint David, he was bishop of Llandaff and founder of the first church at Llandaff Cathedral, where his tomb is. He also founded Llandeilo Fawr, as well as Penally Abbey at his place of birth. ==Biography== St Teilo may have been known as Eliau or Eilliau in Old Welsh.〔 He was born at Penalun (Penally) around the year 500.〔See John Edward Lloyd's book, 'A History of Wales', pages 143-159 for more on Saint Teilo.〕 Teilo was the son of Saint Issel ((ウェールズ語:Usyllt)) and uncle of Saints Ismael and Euddogwy.〔Rees, W. J. (trans.) ''Liber Landavensis'', (pp. 351 ) & (370 ff ). Welsh MSS. Society (Llandovery), 1840. Accessed 26 Mar 2013.〕 In some modern sources,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who was St Teilo? )〕 he is accounted the grandson of Ceredig son of Cunedda and thus a member of the royal family of Gwynedd which later considered Saint David among its members.〔 However, that rather dubious connection to a northern dynasty seems to depend on the Iolo Manuscripts now known to have been forged by Edward Williams.〔Baring-Gould, Sabine & al. ''The Lives of the British Saints'', Vol. 4, (p. 348 f ). Kessinger Publishing, 2005. Accessed 26 Mar 2013.〕 Teilo's education took place at two institutions directed by saints. The first was established by the renowned Church leader and educator Dubricius (or Dyfrig), while the second was the school directed by Paulinus of Wales〔("Welsh Church To Honor Courageous Leadership Of St. Teilo", Catholic News Agency, February 5, 2013 )〕 at "Wincdi-Lantquendi" (thought to be Whitland) where he met and became a close companion of St David (Dewi). Like many founder-bishops they appear to have had experience in battle. Along with companions Aeddan and Ysfael, he traveled to Mynyw (St. Davids), where Dewi founded his abbey, and ousted an Irish pirate named Bwya, killed his cattle and burnt his fortress to the ground. He succeeded Dubricius as Bishop of Llandaff after Dubricius retired to a hermitage on Bardsey Island. Teilo founded the first church in Llandaff, headed a monastic school, and become bishop over Glywysing & Gwent. In the 540s yellow plague affected Britain. In 549 Teilo, with a small group of monks, moved to Dol in Brittany.〔 He is reported to have stayed in Brittany for seven years and seven months so must have left in 556 or 557, although some sources imply he returned in 554.〔 They traveled through Dumnonia and were reported to have entertained King Geraint. and joined Samson of Dol at Dol: to this day the fruit groves they planted are known as the groves of Teilo and Samson.〔 Legend has it that Teilo was asked by Budic II of Brittany to subdue a belligerent winged dragon, which he tamed and tied to a rock in the sea off Brittany.〔 After his return to Llandeilo Fawr, where he is documented to have died on 9 February, although the year, though probably around 560, is unknown, he became one of the most venerated men in Wales. At his death Teilo's body was said to have miraculously become three identical bodies, probably because his relics were claimed by three churches, Llandaff Cathedral, Llandeilo Fawr, and Penally Abbey.〔 One tomb lies to the right of the altar of Llandaff Cathedral: his skull is kept in the south chapel.〔 It is stated that many miracles were witnessed there while he was alive and also later at his tomb. Relics are now even more widely distributed: they are venerated at Landeleau (Finistère), Plogonnac (Finistère), and Saint Télo (Côtes-du-Nord).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Teilo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
