Conan Meriadoc Conan Meriadoc Conan Meriadoc () is a legendary British leader credited with founding Brittany. Versions of his story circulated in both Brittany and Great Britain from at least the early 12th century, and supplanted earlier legends of Brittany's foundation. His story is known in two major versions, which appear in the Welsh text known as "The Dream of Macsen Wledig", and in Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae". Both texts associate him with Magnus Maximus ("Macsen Wledic"), a Roman usurper of the Valentinian dynasty who was widely regarded as having deprived Britain of its defences when he took its legions
