The grandnephew of the famous Julius Caesar, he wa s t h e r e cepient by will of three-fourths of everythin g Juli u s Cae sa r owned when he was killed on 15 Mar 44 B C. In t h e wil l h e was adopted into Caesar family. He fo ught i n fi ve civ il w ars: Mutina, Philippi, Perusia, Sic ily, an d Ant ium. Th e Bat tle at Mutina was against Mar c Antony ; Philip pi again st Bru tus and Cassius; Perusi a against L ucius, br other o f Antony ; Sicily against Sex tus Pompeius , son of P ompey 'T he Great' . Finally, he de feated Marc A ntony 31 B C in the B attle of A ctium. Afte r defeating Bru tus and Cas sius at th e Battle o f Philipp i, he sent Brutu s' head to R ome to be t hrown at th e fee t of Caesar's div ine image. A t Perusia, h e forced Luci u s to take refuge i n the city, w hich he starv ed into surr en der. The Sicilia n war lasted f or eight years , interru pted b y two storm s that wrecked hi s fleet of wars hips , finally de featin g Sextus Pompey of f the Scilian coa s t between Mylae a n d Naulochus.

In 9 AD, the governor o f Germ any , Varus, wa s lured i nto a trap and three Roma n legion s we re wiped out ; all o f Germany was lost.

Llyr Llediaith, Lear II
Llyr was educated in Rome by Augustus Caesar and liv e d a r o und 31 BC.---Magna Charta
King Bran's father was Llyr Llediaith who was th e s o n o f k ing Ceri. Llediaith is a name given to the ac t o f s peak in g Welsh with a foreign accent. One of the r oya l sea ts o f Si luria was Dunraven Castle, Glamorgan. W e fi nd tha t Kin g Bra n was old in AD 60, which was 115 y ear s after J uliu s Caesa r (in 55 BC) received as hostag e s a number o f the y oung nob ility of Britain. We know t ha t one of the m was Pri nce Cynve lin (Cunobelinus), wh o wa s educated i n Rome and , who is sta ted mistakenly b y Di o Cassius, to h ave been th e father of C aradoc. It a ppear s that after Lly r's return y ears later fro m Rome t o Dunr aven Castle, th e whole hill up on which it sta nd s was cal led Twyn Rhyva n ("The Hill of Ro me"). Add do th i s that L lyr's grandson , Caradoc, spoke Lat in so fluent ly an d elo quently at Rome , before the Imperia l throne , in the ca m p of Mars, to Cla udius Caesar and Empr ess A grippina and a l l the Roman Cour t and other nobility , a s to be pardone d fo r resisting i n Britain the Roman Ar m y. These conside ration s lead us t o conjecture the hom e o f the Kings of S iluria, f rom Lly r downwards, was a c ente r of Latin learn ing.---Histo ry o f Wales
The plight of the Celts under Roman rule was not o n e o f o n ly abject slavery or bold revolts.

General Notes for Child Bran The Blessed King Of Wales
Bran, the Blessed Sovereign, Bren
In 36 AD, Bran, Chieftan of Siluria, resigned his c r o w n t o his son Caradoc and became Arch-Druid of the co ll e g e of S iluria where he remainined some years until c all e d u pon t o be a hostage for his son. During his seve n ye ar s i n Rom e he became the first royal convert for C hrist ian it y and wa s baptized by Apostle Paul, as was hi s so n Cara do c and th e latter's two sons Cyllinus and Cy non . Hencefo rt h he was k nown as the "Blessed Sovereign" . H e was the f irs t to brin g the faith of Christ to th e Cymr y. He is als o at tributed a s introducing the use o f vellu m into Britai n.--- Magna Charta
In the earliest Welsh records, it is said that Kin g B r a n t he Blessed first brought Christianity to Britai n; b u t i n ot her sources, the credit is given to Linus ( Cylli n) , wh o wa s the only son of Caradoc. This at firs t seem s li k e a contr adiction. But in the genealogy of t he desc endan t s of King B ran it is mentioned that Carado c was th e so n o f Arch, and l ater that he was the son o f King Bra n. Th e ed itor, not know ing what the name Arc h means (a n abbrev iate d form of the Gr eek "Archon"), wa s at a los s to accou nt fo r it being applie d to King Bra n. What i t actually re veal s is that King Bra n was mad e Archon (si miliar to Arch bisho p); but that afte r the r eturn home o f Linus-Cyllin , he hav ing been consecrat e d by St. Paul h imself, the age d King Br an, his grandfath er , resigned th e Archon title t o Linus.-- -History of Wa les
...When they were all gathered together in the palac e , t h e y saw a woman in a strange dress in the middle o f t he h al l . Then she sang these fifty verses to Bran, w hil e th e com pa ny listened to them, and they all saw th e wom an:
'Here is a branch from the apple tree of Emhain, lik e t h o s e that are familiar; twigs of white silver on it , an d c ry st al fringes with flowers.
There is an island far away, around which the sea-ho r s e s g listen, flowing on their white courses against i t s sh in in g shore; four pillars support it.
It is a delight to the eye, the plain which the host s f r e q uent in triumphant ranks; coracle races against c har i o t i n the plain south of Findargad.
Pillars of white bronze are under it, shining throug h a e o n s of beauty, a lovely land through the ages of th e wo rl d , o n which many flowers rain down.
There is a huge tree there with blossoms, on which t h e b i r ds call at the hours; it is their custom that th e y al l ca l l together in concert every hour.
Colours of every hue gleam throughout the soft famil i a r f i elds; ranged around the music, they are ever joyf u l i n t h e plain south of Argadnel.
Weeping and treachery are unknown in the pleasant fam i l i a r land; there is no fierce harsh sound there, but s we e t m us ic striking the ear.
Without sorrow, without grief, without death, with o u t a n y sickness, without weakness, that is the charact e r o f Em ha in; such a marvel is rare.
Loveliness of a wondrous land, whose aspects are beaut i f u l , whose view is fair, excellent, without a trace o f m is t.
Then is one sees Airgthech, on which dragon-stones a n d c r y stals rain down, the sea makes the wave wash agai ns t t h e la nd, with crystal tresses from its mane.
Riches, treasures of every color are in Ciuin, hav e t h e y n ot been found? Listening to sweet music, drinki ng c ho ic es t wine.
Golden chariots across the plain of the sea rising w i t h t h e tide to the sun; chariots of silver in Magh Mo n , an d o f b ronze without blemish.
Horses of golden yellow there on the meadow, other h o r s e s of purple color; other noble horses beyond them , o f t h e c olor of the all-blue sky.
There comes at sunrise a fair man who lights up th e l e v e l lands, he rides over the bright plain against w hic h t h e s ea washes, he stirs the ocean so that it beco me s bloo d.
There comes a host across the clear sea, to the la n d t h e y display their rowing; then they row to the brig h t sto n e f rom which a hundred songs arise.
Through the long ages it sings to the host a melod y w h i c h is not sad; the music swells up in choruses o f hund re d s , they do not expect decay nor death.
Emhnae of many shapes, beside the sea, whether i t i s n e a r or whether it is far, where there are many th ousa nd s o f m otley-dressed women; the pure sea surround s it.
If one has heard the music the sound of music, th e s o n g o f the little birds from Imcgiuin, a troop of wo me n co me s fr om the hill to the playing-field where it i s.
Freedom and health come to the land around which lau g h t e r echoes; in Imchiuin with its purity come immortal i t y a n d joy.
Through the perpetual good weather silver rains on t h e l a n d; a very white cliff under the glare of the sea , o ve r wh ic h its heat spreads from the sun.
The host rides across Magh Mon, a lovely sport whi c h i s n o t weakly; in the many-colored land with great s pl endo r th e y do no expect decay nor death.
Listening to music in the night, and going to Ildath a c h t h e many-colored land, a brilliance with clear sple an d o fr o m which the white cloud glistens.
There are three times fifty distant islands in the o c e a n t o the west of us; each one of them is twice or th r e e ti me s larger than Ireland...
My words are not for all of you, through their great w o n d e rs have been told; from among the throng of the wor l d l e t B ran listen to the wisdom expounded to him.
Do not sink upon a bed of sloth, do not let your bewil d e r m ent overwhelm you; begin a voyage across the clea r s e a m t o find it you may reach the Land of Women.'
Then the woman went from them, and they did not kno w w h e r e she went, and she took her branch with her...-- -Iri s h ; au thor unknown; original 7th - 8th century.
Bran (Raven) the Blessed son of Llyr (Sea), was crow n e d k i ng of this island, having been raised to the thro n e o f Lo nd on. One afternoon he was at a court of his a t H ardd lec h (Ha rlech) in Ardudwy; he was sitting on th e roc k o f Hard dlec h overlooking the sea, accompanied b y his b roth er Mana wyda n son of Llyr, and his two brothe rs on hi s mot her's si de, N issyan and Evnissyen, and suc h nobleme n as o ught to s urroun d a king.
