biographical
and/or anecdotal:
Bran, King of Siluria, also commander of the British fleet.
In the year A.D. 36 (should that be 0136?) he resigned the crown to his son Caradoc
and became Arch-Druid of the college of Siluria, where he remained some years until
called upon to be a hostage for his son. During his seven years in Rome he became
the first royal convert to Christianity, and was baptized by the Apostle Paul, as
was his son Caradoc and the latter's two sons, Cyllinus and Cynon. Henceforth he
was known as Bran the Blessed Sovereign. "He was the first to bring the faith
of Christ to the Cymry." His recorded proverb is: "There is no good apart
from God." He introduced the use of vellum into Britain.
