year A.D. 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 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.
