Gladys was born in Wales in the 5th century. She was one of the 24 children of Brychan of Brecknock, wife of Saint Gundleus, and mother of Saints Cadoc and, possibly, Keyna.

It is said that after their conversion by the example and exhortation of their son, she and Gundleus lived an austere life.

When Gundleus died, Gladys moved to Pencanau in Bassaleg and lived as a hermit.
