Enrhig Tewdur was Toisag of Kemr between 1529-1541. He came from one of
the most powerful families in Kemr at that period and was groomed virtually
from birth to become Abbot of St Davids, the second most important spiritual
leader in the Cambriese Rite after the Patriarch. The Abbot is virtually the
chaplain and preacher to the Royal Court. His abbacy is remembered for its
anti-Lutheran policies culminating in his "Defence of Catholicism". As Toisag
he channelled Kemrese troops into aiding the French in their wars against the
Holy Roman Empire in 1536. This proved to be an unnecessary burden on the
budget and led to his dismissal from office 5 years later.
