 la pretendue ('migration du Patern armovieain en Grand- 

 Bretag-ne." The Welsh authorities are not, however, to lie so 

 lightly set aside. There was no oecasiou for them to fahle such 

 an emigration, and nothing was more common than the flight of 

 brothers after the death of tlieir father, to escape massacre by 

 their most masterful brother. Gfuerch or Weroc who gave his 

 name to Broweroc may have been this brother Mdio drove them 

 from their inheritance, or may have been the son of a lirotlier of 

 Emyr Llydaw who expelled him. 



As Padarn was born before the flight of the family, he must 

 have been considerably older than Samson, who was born some 

 time after Amwn had settled in Wales, and had taken to him as 

 wife a daughter of Meurig prince of Morganwg. 



On reaching man's estate Padarn with a large body of 

 followers migrated to Wales. From Welsh authorities we know 

 that he did not head this body, but formed one member of it, 

 which was under the direction of Cadfan. Hetinlau, Tinlatu, 

 or Ouilan,* as the name of his first comrade is invariably 

 rendered, may possibly l)e the Lleuddad of the Welsh list. 

 Catman or Cathinam cannot be recognised, Techo, Techocho, or 

 Titechon, or as Albert Legrand give it Tedecho, is Tydecho son 

 of Amwn Ddu. In Britain, Padarn founded a monastery in 

 Mauritana, that is at Llanbadarn fawr, in Ceredigion or Cardigan- 

 shire. There he had as his disciples Samson, his first cousin, 

 Guinnius, Guipper. and Nimanauc. Guinnius is the only one of 

 these who has left his name in the district, at Llanwynio, and 

 that is in Carmarthenshire. But it is possible that Nimanauc 

 may be Ninio the Old, who is the same as Meugan. 



Maelgwn Gwynedd with whom he had ti'ouble ruled from 

 540 till 547 when he died of the Yellow Plague, Arthur, who 

 in the legend plays a contemptible part, fell in 5."} 7, according to 

 the Amidh's Camhrifc. Tlie stor}^ of the c^uarrels and miracles is 

 introduced to account for the extent of land over which Padarn 

 exercised jurisdiction. This included a part at least of Kadnor- 

 shire as well as Cardiganshire.
