Talgarth

was the royal residence of

 Brychan King of Brycheiniog

 in the 5th century AD.

 With three wives, 24 daughters and 22 sons the family was an important force in Wales at that time.

 Responsible for the spread of Christianity throughout Brecknock, the daughters of Brychan and their descendants account for almost all of the Saints of South Wales and include the grandmother of Saint David.[
