Bron (mythology)

In the Arthurian legend about the Holy Grail, Bron is the brother-in-law of Joseph of Arimathea . There are attempts to prove this with the Bible. Robert de Boron calls the fisherman king Bron in his work "Estoire dou Graal". This allows conclusions to be drawn about the Welsh legendary figure Bran the Blessed , as the mythological properties are similar. According to Chrétien de Troyes, Bron is fatally injured in the leg, but can continue to live in his magical castle. The same applies to Bran, who is beheaded but still lived with his entourage in a hall for a long time before he was buried.
