Family
According to his hagiographic Life, completed in 884 by a Breton monk named Wrmonoc of Landévennec Abbey, Paul was the son of a Welsh chieftain named Perphirius/Porphyrius ("clad in purple"), from Penychen in Glamorgan. He has later been given three saintly sister-martyrs; Juthwara, Sidwell and Wulvela.
In the Life of Cadoc that contemporary princely founder of Llancarfan is reckoned the son of Gwynllyw, eponymous founder of the cantref of Gwynllwg and the son of Glywys. High mediaeval sources give Gwynllyw a brother "Pawl", who is chief of neighbouring Penychen.
