Tutgual of Galwyddel

Tutgual ap Cinuit (Welsh: Tudwal; Latin: Theodovellaunus; English: Theowald) was a 5th century Brythonic King of Galwyddel.[1] He was likely the son of Cinuit of Alt Clut upon whose death the Kingdom of Alt Clut was divided between his two sons: Dyfnwal Hen (who became King of Alt Clut); and Tutgual (who became the first King of Galwyddel).[2][3][4][5] He is believed to have been succeed by his son Dingat ap Tudwal.

Tudgual was probably born circa 467 AD.[1] He is likely the King Tudwallus mentioned in the Life of St Ninian as having suffered blindness after disparaging St Ninian, but was cured of his ailment when he recognised Ninian's power.[1]
