The origins of this see are to be found in the sixth century monastic movement initiated by St. Dubricius, who presided over the monastery of Mochros. The ancient diocese comprised the Counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth except a few parishes in each. It contained but one archdeaconry (Liandaff). The arms of the see were sable, two crosiers in saltire, or and argent, in a chief azure three mitres with labels of the second. The order and dates of all before the tenth century are unknown. St. Dubricius (Dyfrig) is sometimes given as the first Bishop.
