Saint Oudoceus (Latin) or Euddogwy (Welsh) (c.536–c.615 or 625) is generally known as the third Bishop of Llandaff in South Wales. In reality he was probably a 7th-century bishop at Llandeilo Fawr. Wendy Davies puts his episcopal reign between about 650 and 700.
==Life== Information regarding Oudeceus is largely derived from the 12th century Book of Llandaff, composed to enhance the prestige of the see of Llandaff as reorganised by the Normans. His supposed consecration by the Archbishop of Canterbury is the first mention in a written source of the diocese being subservient to Canterbury.
