Brychan "Saint" of Breichiniog
- Marriage: (1): Ribrawst verch Vortigern
- Marriage: (2): Prawst verch Tudwal
- Died: Abt 419
 General Notes:
"Anlach eventually died and the nobles raised Brychan to the Kingship. From Talgarth, His reign was triumphant, as Drichan had predicted, and the people decided to rename the Kingdom Brycheiniog in his honour. He was a saintly King dedicated to the Christian Church and its teachings. He married three times and had so many saintly children, they are almost impossible to count. The most popular figure is twenty-four sons and twenty-four daughters. Together they are known as one of the "Holy Families of Britain"."
"In old age he is believed to have abdicated the throne of Brycheniog in order to become a hermit. Professor Thomas suggests that his life at this period should be identified with that of his so-called son, St. Nectan. He died at a great age in the mid-5th century and was buried on Ynys Brychan (Lundy Island)."
