Note: Bran, King of Siluria, and commander of the British Fleet. In the year anno domini 36 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 is 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 also introduced the use of vellum in to Britain. The Silurians were a powerful and warlike tribe in ancient Britain, occupying approximately the counties of Monmouth, Brecon and Glamorgan. They made a fierce resistance to the Roman conquest about d.d.48...their town Venta Silurum (Caerwent, 6 mi. W. of Chepstow) became romanized. Its massive Roman walls survive,and excavations have revealed a town hall and market square, a temple, baths, amphitheatre, etc.
