 High King Eudaf Hen
Conan Meriadoc, his nephew, eventually became king of both Armorica and Dumnonia.
Like many prominent men of their era, Eudaf and Conan would have dressed as Romans, but maintained continuity with their Celtic traditions by claiming descent from Celtic "gods": Llyr Llediarth (Half-Speech), God of the Sea and his son, Bran Fendigaid (the Blessed), who was mortalised as a King of the Silures (in the Gwent region).
These "gods" were in all likelihood glorified versions of historic Britons who ruled the Dumnonii and Silures, and perhaps others, as the High Kings of Britain.

 The Last Pool, by Patrick O'Brian
You might try Conan Meriadoc, King of Dumnonia and Brittany; he of the unfortunate almost marriage to the even more unfortunate Ursula in the 4th century C.E. I doubt Conan Meriadoc would have drowned lepers personally, but I doubt he would have found it exceptional either, being of a somewhat pragmatical turn.
This Conan was actually an enemy of Fionn, and Fionn eventually got rid of him by sending him to woo the daughter of a man who had vowed to kill any such wooer.

The Roman name of the Brittany peninsula had been "Armorica." There was also a tradition that Celtic soldiers had stayed in the region after crossing over from Britain with the usurper Magnus Maximus.
Their leader in 388 was said to be "Cynan [or Conan] Meriadoc." The same name occurs in the first more-or-less historical ruler of Brittany around 450.
Following this later Cynan Meriadoc is a continuous list of local kings, as in Ireland and Britain, until the first ruler, Frodaldus, for whom there are more than just vague and conjectural dates.

The colony's first king, Conan Meriadog, ruled Brittany as the Kingdom of Vannetais, maintaining the local tribal name.
The usual Celtic practice of dividing territory between sons created the smaller principalities out of Vannetais during the course of the 5th-6th centuries.

 Ancient British genealogies: The ROYAL HOUSE of GALLOWAY -- the lineage of Magnus Maximus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Eudaf is given a DOB of 283 (again, implying that he -- like Conan Meridoc -- was almost certainly dead by the time Maxen arrived in Britain in 368), and his daughter Helena is given a DOB of 340 CE.
If the Gewissae were, in fact, Irish invaders who participated in the attack of 367, this DOB implies that she was not born in Britain; her father, given his DOB, would have been 63 years of age at her birth.
Another chart, of the descent from Conan Meriadoc, father of Gradlon Mawr in that genealogy, of Arthur's parents Uthyr and Igerne, both of whom were claimed as descendants of Conan, is as bogus as the first.).

Cadog in Caerleon, is said to have been to St. Cadfrod, an early bishop.
According to tradition, he was a younger son of 'King' Gadeon of Dumnonia and grandson of the great Conan Meriadoc.
Since his name means 'Battle-Brother,' some historians have tried to equate Cadfrod with another 'Brother': Adelfius, "Episcopus de civitate Colonia Londinensium," who attended the Council of Arles in AD 314.
