'''Dubricius''' or '''Dubric''' ({{lang-cy|Dyfrig}}; [[Norman-French]]: ''Devereux''; c. 465 – c. 550) was a 6th-century [[Britons (historical)|British]] ecclesiastic venerated as a saint. He was the evangelist of [[Ergyng]] ({{lang-cy|Erging}}) (later [[Archenfield]]) and much of [[South Wales|southeast Wales]]. |

==Biography== |
|||
[[File:St_Dubricius_in_Holy_Trinity_Church,_Abergavenny.jpg|thumb|left|Dubricius in Holy Trinity Church, Abergavenny]] |
|||
The earliest life of the saint was written about 1133, to record the translation of his relics, and is to be found (in the form of "Lectiones") in the ''[[Book of Llandaff]]'' (''Liber Landavensis''). It may contain some genuine traditions, but as it appeared at least five hundred years after his death, it cannot claim to be historical.<ref name=Toke/> |

Dubricius was the illegitimate son of Efrddyl, the daughter of King [[Peibio Clafrog]] of Ergyng. His grandfather threw his mother into the [[River Wye]] when he discovered she was pregnant, but was unsuccessful in drowning her. Dubricius was born in [[Madley]] in [[Herefordshire]], [[England]]. He and his mother were reconciled with Peibio when the child Dubricius touched him and cured him of his [[leprosy]].<ref>[http://archive.org/stream/livesofbritishsa02bariuoft#page/362/mode/2up Baring-Gould, Sabine and Fisher, John, ''The Lives of the British Saints: The Saints of Wales and Cornwall and such Irish Saints as have dedications in Britain'', Vol.2, p.363, Charles J. Clark, London, 1908]</ref> |
|||
Noted for his precocious intellect, by the time he attained manhood he was already known as a scholar throughout Britain.<ref name=Toke/> Dubricius founded a monastery at [[Hentland]] and then one at [[Moccas]].<ref name=butler>[http://www.bartleby.com/210/11/142.html Butler, Rev. Alban, ''The Lives of the Saints'', Volume XI, 1866]</ref> He became the teacher of many well-known [[Wales|Welsh]] saints, including [[Teilo]] and [[Samson of Dol|Samson]]. The sick were healed, and cured of various disorders by the laying on of his hands.<ref>[[William Jenkins Rees|Rees, W. J.]] ed., [http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/dubricius.html ''The Liber Landavensis''], The Welsh MSS. Society. Llandovery, W. Rees, 1840</ref> Dedications at [[Porlock]] and near [[Luscombe]] on the [[Exmoor]] coast of [[Somerset]] may indicate that he also travelled in that area. He later became [[Bishop of Llandaff|Bishop of Ergyng]],<ref name=butler/> possibly with his seat at [[Weston under Penyard]], and probably held sway over all of [[Glamorgan]] and [[Kingdom of Gwent|Gwent]], an area that was later known as the [[diocese of Llandaff]]. However, he may have merely been a bishop for the purpose of ordaining priests, not as administrative head of the church over a geographical area. Dubricius was good friends with Saints [[Illtud]] and [[Samson of Dol|Samson]], and attended the [[Synod of Brefi|Synod of Llanddewi Brefi]] in 545, where he is said to have resigned his see in favour of [[Saint David]]. He retired to [[Bardsey Island]] where he was eventually buried before his body was transferred to [[Llandaff Cathedral]] in 1120. |
|||
According to legend, Dubricius was made Archbishop of [[Llandaff]] by [[Saint Germanus of Auxerre]], and later crowned [[King Arthur]]. He appears as a character in [[Geoffrey of Monmouth]]'s ''[[Historia Regum Britanniae]]'' and [[Wace]]'s ''[[Roman de Brut]]'', which was based on it. Much later [[Alfred, Lord Tennyson]] featured the saint in his ''[[Idylls of the King]]''. |
|||
==Liturgical cult== |
|||
Churches dedicated to Saint Dubricius include the [[Church of England]] churches at [[Ballingham]], [[Whitchurch, Herefordshire|Whitchurch]], [[Hentland]] and Hamnish, all in [[Herefordshire]], [[Porlock]] in [[Somerset]], and the [[Church in Wales]] churches at [[Erwood|Gwenddwr]] in [[Breconshire]] (probably not an old dedication) and at [[Llanvaches]] in [[Newport, Wales|Newport]]. The Catholic Church at [[Treforest]] is also dedicated to Dyfrig. |
|||
In the 2004 edition of the [[Roman Martyrology]], Dyfrig is listed under 14 November with the Latin name ''Dubricius''. He is stated to have died on Bardsey Island, 'on the north coast of Wales, as a bishop and abbot'.<ref>''Martyrologium Romanum'', 2004, Vatican Press (Typis Vaticanis), p. 622.</ref> In the current [[Roman Catholic]] liturgical calendar for Wales<ref>[http://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Calendar/National/Wales1.shtml National Calendar for Wales] Accessed 2012-02-06.</ref> he is commemorated on the traditional date of 14 November. |
|||
===Iconography=== |
|||
He is usually represented holding two crosiers to signify his jurisdiction over the sees of Caerleon and Llandaff.<ref name=Toke>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05179a.htm Toke, Leslie. "St. Dubric." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 5. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1909. 14 April 2015]</ref> |
