Narrative

Mempricius (Welsh: Meinbyr) was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth. He was the son of King Maddan and brother of Malin. Upon his father's death, war broke out between Mempricius and his brother, Malin, over who would dominate Britain. Mempricius called a conference with his brother and other delegates to end the war between the two brothers. Once there, Mempricius killed Malin and took the throne of the Britons for himself. He ruled as a tyrant for twenty years, killing most of the distinguished men on the island. More so, he defeated and killed all other claimants to the throne. He abandoned his wife and his son, Ebraucus, to live a life of sodomy. While on a hunting expedition, he was separated from his companions and attacked by a pack of wolves. He died and was succeeded by his son Ebraucus. These events corresponded to the reign of Saul in Judea and Eurysthenes in Sparta. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
