Did Saint David have brothers or sisters?

Answer 1

St. David, Bishop and Primate of Wales died ca. 601. St. David is the patron saint of Wales and is known through legend with scant corroborative evidence. David or Dewi was the son of a chieftain. He was educated at Henfynyw. St. David founded 12 monasteries, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where he was consecrated and elevated as a bishop. Bishop David had prominent roles in two councils, Brefi and Caerleon in which the heresy of Pelagianism was condemned. On being named Primate of Wales, he moved his See to Mynyw (Menevia, St. David's) where he died. He is presumed to have been canonized by Pope Callistus II ca. 1120. His feast day is 1 March.

As to the question of siblings, tradition and legend are silent. Considering his high birth as a chief's son, but not being termed, heir, the presumption is St. David had at least a brother who became chief on the death of their father.

Answer 2

It is believed that Saint David had at least one brother, named Saint Dewi, who also became a bishop in Wales. There is limited information available about Saint David's family, but some sources suggest he may have had siblings.
