 Teilo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Teilo's monastery was at Llandeilo Fawr and, although dedication evidence is unreliable, it is likely that his ministry was in south west Wales.
Teilo's house is associated with one of the great, if not the great, works of art of early-medieval Wales: the Teilo Gospels (now usually known as the Litchfield Gospels or the Book of Chad).

One of the largest of these, and centre of the cult of St Teilo was Llandeilofawr in the heart of Ystrad Tywi, a bishopric and monasterium which was, as Professor Wendy Davies points out in her Wales in the Early Middle Ages, of 'tremendous sanctity'.
In any case it wasn't his to give, and it is extremely unlikely that he would have expropriated a religious relic of one of Wales's best-loved saints as a peace offering to his volatile neighbours.
The Book of Teilo, we can say with certainty, would have been afforded the status of one of the holy relics of the saint whose life and name had, and continue to have, tremendous importance in both south Wales and Brittany.
