 HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio Barbieri
The defeat of Beli Mawr by the lords of Rome is a structural fact; it is as natural, as innate, for a lord of Rome to defeat Beli Mawr, as it is for Beli Mawr to be defeated by a lord of Rome.
Beli is certainly the representative of those pre-Roman "tyrants" known to Gildas; the annihilating defeat inflicted by the "Romans" of Gildas on the "British" traitors after the murder of the rectores finds, as we have seen, its structural parallel in his all-too-easy defeat by Maxen in the fable.
In short, while Beli and Nudd/Nuada may represent a maimed or inferior form of royalty, Brân represents a failed form; he is the face of everything in the course of history that falls, that loses, that dies, and whose fall, and defeat, and death, are a necessary part of the evolution of the world.
