St Curig was a Celtic Roman Catholic bishop and saint of Wales during post Roman times. St Curig, settled in Wales in the 7th century AD, "having landed at Aberystwyth, he travelled inland, and rested upon the summit of a high mountain, which still bears the name of Eisteddfa Gurig, or Curig's seat."
