his wife, Gwen, "of the Three Breasts," daughter of Eiuyr, of 

 Llydaii or Brittany. She had been ah-eady married to ^'Eneas 

 Llydewig, and had become the mother of S. Cadfan. With his 

 wife and her two sons by him, Grwethenoc and J ames, and a small 

 retinue, Fragan disembarked at Brahec, at, we are informed, the 

 eleventh hour of the day, that is to say five o'clock in the after- 

 noon. Then he went through the country seeking a suitable spot 

 where to establish himself. The place at which they came ashore 

 Avas where a little stream empties into the bay, now called that 

 of S. Brieuc. They ascended the stream, found the country

 like manner Deirinell, the mother of SS. Domangart and Muna, 

 was called the Four Breasted, because she had reared three 

 families — a pair of breasts being allowed only to the first family. 



With Budoc Winwaloe remained a good many years, and 

 when he considered himself accomplished in all the learning of the 

 school, at the age of one and twenty, he left. 



It is said that one day whilst he was in Lauret, he heard of 

 the work of S. Patrick and his apostolic career, and was filled 

 with a burning desire to go to him and assist in the mission field 

 in Ireland. But in the night S. Patrick appeared and bade him
