Description
Llancarvan, in Glamorganshire, Wales, was an early college and monastery whose founding date is disputed. Welsh writers tie it to Germanus's visit to Britain in 447, with Dubric as first head and Cadoc after him.
Yet the Life of Germanus, written about fifty years after his death, says nothing of a school he founded in Britain or of his presence in Wales. Lives of Cadoc instead credit Cadoc himself, which would push the founding a century later. Those lives mix up two or three saints of one name, so the entry leaves the date open, noting abbots as witnesses from the later sixth century onward.
