Bran was the first royal convert to Christianity according to legend, and previously served as Arch Druid of the College of Siluria. The Silures "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 A.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, amphitheater, etc."
