Cadoc was the son of a robber, one of the lesser kings of Wales, who with an armed band of 300 men had stolen the daughter of a neighboring chieftain for his wife.
When, on one occasion, a band of robbers came to pillage the monastery, Cadoc and his monks went out to meet them with their harps, chanting as they went, and the marauders were so surprised by their attitude and so enchanted by the music that they withdrew.
Cadoc later took refuge from the Anglo-Saxons in the Isle of Flatholmes, and then in Brittany, where he established another monastery upon a small island to which he built a stone bridge so that the children could cross to his school.

CADOC (Cadocus, Docus): A Welsh saint, called "the Wise," son of a chieftain of South Wales and cousin of St. David of Menevia; d., according to one account, at his monastery of Llancarven (near Cowbridge, 10 m.
Tradition associates him with David and Gildas (who was one of the teachers at Llancarven) as training the "second order of Irish Saints" (see Celtic Church in Britain and Ireland, II, 2, § 1) and thus influencing the church life of Ireland.
One of the earliest monuments of the Welsh language is The Wisdom of Cadoc the Wise, a collection of proverbs, maxims, and the like (in The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales, ed.

 Cadoc
Many years later, as abbot of Llancarfan, Cadoc grants seven years of sanctuary to a man who has slain three of Arthur's men.
However, by making him a contemporary with not only the Abbot Cadoc but St. David as well, it puts Arthur well into the 6th century and much, much later than the reputed date of the battle of Camlann.
Cadoc's "life" is a perfect example of the extension of Arthur's career prevalent in Welsh legend and the historical problems created by such aggrandizing.

 Medieval Sourcebook: Caradoc of Llangarfan: The Life of Gildas, written c. 1130-1150
Cadoc, the abbot of the church of Nancarban, asked the teacher Gildas to superintend the studies of his schools for the space of one year; and one being requested, he superintended them most advantageously, receiving no fee from the scholars except the prayers of the clergy and scholars.
At the close of the year, and when the scholars were retiring from study, the saintly abbot Cadoc and the excellent master Gildas, mutually agreed to repair to two islands, viz., Ronech and Echin.
Cadoc landed on the one nearer to Wales, and Gildas in the one that lies over against England.

 Saint Cadocs Church Caerleon by Eija Kennerley from Gwent Local History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
At least, it is difficult to say which church is meant by "St. Cadoc's," as there were and still are several of them in the county.
In the Book of Llandaff "the church of St. Cadoc" is mentioned among the churches in existence in the middle of the 12th century.
It is most feasible that this particular church was one on the Roman road, on the site of the ancient Roman camp, and situated in the area of Iorwerth, who had "come into the family of Llancarfan" by marrying into it.

In the Book of Llandaff "the church of St. Cadoc" is mentioned among the churches in existence in the middle of the 12th century.
If the church of Caerleon, which indeed stands apart from the north-Gwent group of churches dedicated to St. Cadoc, received the dedication during the period of the Llancarfan family's influence in the area, the fact that they were Welsh makes a Celtic dedication - or commemoration - natural and understandable.

 Samuel Hazo: A matter of death and life
Ranked high among the 15 specific "hates" of the Irish monk Cadoc were writers in love with war.
If Cadoc were alive today as we all suffer the Chinese water torture of awaiting the next announcement of a military death in Iraq, he would notice that the traditional war-lover has evolved into the war-accepter or the war-rationalizer.
These are ideologues who accept the view that warfare is the natural condition of man. They therefore feel justified in advance to find ways to make war and its consequences more or less palatable for the public, having already accepted its inevitability.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Llancarvan
Most Welsh writers assign it to the period of St. Germanus's visit to Britain in A.D. 447, stating further that the first principal was St. Dubric, or Dubricius, on whose elevation to the episcopate St. Cadoc, or Cattwg, succeeded.
On the other hand the Life of St. Germanus, written by Constantius, a priest of Lyons, about fifty years after the death of the saint, says nothing at all of any school founded by him or under his auspices, in Britain, nor is mention made of his presence in Wales.
The other tradition, supported by the ancient lives of St. Cadoc, assigns the foundation of Llancarvan to that saint, which would place it about a century later than the former date.

 St. Cadoc's Church, Cheriton
The 'Cathedral of Gower' was probably built around the opening of the 14th century to replace the one at Landimore, which had been affected by the encroachment of the sea on low-lying land.
The two churches of Landimore and Cheriton are never mentioned together in an authentic document, both being dedicated to St. Cadoc.
The entrance to the church is a fine example of a doorway from the 'Decorated' period and the Norman Font, is said to have come from the extinct church of Landimore.

It came to pass, after the passage of days and years, that his successor, who had been chosen by lot, journeyed into his neighbourhood and sent him word that he awaited, at the hermit’s hands, bread for himself and his soldiers.
Cadoc answered that he had a bare pittance, not a plenty for so many, but that he would give this if it was asked for in God’s name.
While his stubborn fellows mocked him, they perished in a chasm which opened beneath them, but the ground remained under the feet of Iltut and thus preserved him.
