Bran
(redirected from branny)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Bran

Welsh mythological figure, one of the family of Llyr in the Mabinogion and elsewhere. His head, severed from his body after death, did not decay. It was buried in London, with the eyes looking towards France, as a spell against foreign invasion.

Bran is generally assumed to be the Celtic source of Bron, the Fisher King of Arthurian romance.

The original significance of Bran's epithet, ‘the Blessed’, is not known, but the legend that he was one of the founders of Christianity in Britain appears first in the 18th century.
