Baring-Gould’s sources: Capgrave, Alford, Menard us, and the Bollandists. Authority Mention by Giraldus Carabrensis, and a legendary life in Capgrave.] S. Caradoc was bom of good family in Brecknockshire, and after a liberal education at home, attached himself to the court of Rhys, prince of South Wales, where he occupied himself with playing on the harp, and attending to I two greyhounds given to his charge by the prince. But j having lost the hounds, Rhys threatened to mutilate and I murder him. Then Caradoc exclaimed, 41 If this is the gratitude of an earthly master, who, after long service, I storms and threatens to kill me for having lost his dogs, I I will betake myself to the service of One who gives pardon for offences, and life eternal as a reward for service.” I Then, lance in hand for staff, he went forth to Llandaff, | killing a goat on his way with the lance, to supply himself with food for his journey, At Llandaff he received from the j bishop the tonsure and habit of a monk, and retired to the deserted church of S. Kined, and afterwards to a still more solitary abode in the Isle of Ary, from whence he was taken prisoner by some Norwegian pirates, but soon released. His last place of residence was S. Ismael, or the parish of Haroldstone, near Haverfordwest, whose church has S. Ismael for patron, and probably near a place called Poorfield, the common on which Haverfordwest races are held, as there is a well there called Caradoc’s Well, round which, till within the last few years, a fair has been held, and country games celebrated. He was much harassed by Richard de Tankard, governor of the castle of Haverford, who carried off his sheep, and after his death made an attempt to seize on his body. Shortly before he died, it is said that as he was preparing for the Paschal Sacrifice, he saw two men in glittering stoles enter the Church, bearing a golden altar between them, on which was written, “Follow us, we have meat to eat thou knowest not of!" Then he asked, “When shall I feast with you and your brethren ?” They answered in song, “ The Lamb’s high banquet we await,” 1 “ Ad cctnam Agni providi ” and said no more. On the fourth day after he was taken with fever and died.
