See _Lives of the Cambro-British Saints_, pp. 272, 602, for an account of Brychan and his family. He had an impossible number of children, varying in different legends from ten to twenty-four sons and twenty-six daughters. It has already been remarked (see vol. i. p. 160, note, and the _Four Ancient Books of Wales_, vol. i. p. 82) that some of these sons and daughters are connected with _Brycheiniog_ or Brecknock in Wales, and others with Manau Guotodin in the north, and with the men of the north. It is obvious that there must have been two Brychans, and that two different families have been mixed together. The name Brychan comes from _Brych_, ‘speckled,’ the Gaelic equivalent of which is _Breacc_, and seems to refer to a characteristic of the Picts. It enters into the name _Brycheiniog_ or Brecknock in Wales, and we also find it in two different localities in Scotland. In Manau Guotodin, the chief church, that of Falkirk, was called _Ecglis Breacc_, or ‘the Speckled Church,’ the Saxon equivalent of which was _Fahkirk_, from the word _Fah_, signifying speckled. There is also the river Briech, and on the Firth of Forth Briechness, now Bridgeness. In Forfarshire we have also Brechin. The northern family seem to have been the same as that of the ten sons of Braccan, son of Bracha Meoc, king of the Britons, who found churches in Ireland, as one of the sons, Iust, is said to have been of _Sleamna in Alban_ or Scotland; and another, Maconoc, we find in the patron saint of Inverkeilor in Forfarshire. There is there also a church called Neveth, and in the _Cognatio_ the sepulchre of Brachan or Brychan is said to be ‘in insula que vocata Enysbrachan, que est juxta Manniam.’ Mannia stands here for Manau in the north, and it is possible that Inchbrayoch in Forfarshire, which was dedicated to Saint Braoch, may be the island meant. Footnote 76: Pervenerat etiam in Albaniam, id est Scotiam, in qua ædificaverat ecclesias in Christi nomine, quarum hæc sunt nomina. Una est Chilnecase in Galweia. Altera vero in cacumine montis, qui appellatur Dundeuel, quia sic semper solebat, sicut prædiximus, ut supra nudam petram nudis membris in noctibus oraret Deum, qui semper orandus sit, sicut scriptura ait; ‘Orate sine intermissione,’ et reliqua. Tertia autem in alto montis Dunbreten. Quarta in castello, quod dicitur Strivelin. Quinta vero Dunedene, quæ Anglica lingua dicta Edenburg. Sexta enim Mons Dunpeleder, et illinc transfretavit mare in Albaniam ad Sanctum Andream. Post hæc vero exiit ad Alecthae, ubi modo est optima ecclesia, quam Lanfortin aedificavit cum quodam fonte sanctissimo, et mansit illic aliquanto tempore et multum dilexit illum locum, in quo in fine vitæ suæ, ut affirmaret, Domino volente, emisit spiritum.—_Vita S.
