King Gradlon and the Legend of Ys:

"King Gradlon (Gralon in Breton) ruled in Ys, a city built on land reclaimed from the sea, sometimes described as rich in commerce and the arts. He lived in a wealth palace of marble, cedar and gold. In some versions, Gradlon built the city upon the request of his daughter Dahut, who loved the sea. To protect Ys from inundation, a dike was built with a gate that was opened for ships during low tide. The one key that opened the gate was held by the king.

Some versions, especially early ones, blame Gradlon's sins for the destruction of the city. However, most tellings present Gradlon as a pious man, and his daughter Dahut as a sorceress or a wayward woman who steals the keys from Gradlon and opens the gates of the dikes, causing a flood which destroys the whole city. A Saint (either St. Gwénnolé or St. Corentin) wakes the sleeping Gradlon and urges him to flee. The king mounts his horse and takes his daughter with him, but the rising water is about to overtake them. Dahut either falls from the horse, or Gradlon obeys a command from St. Gwénnolé and throws Dahut off. As soon as Dahut falls into the sea, Gradlon safely escapes. He takes refuge in Quimper and reestablishes his rule there." - Gradlon wikipedia article

I’ll keep working every single day I live, so that my future grandkids can rest assured knowing I did the sacrifice for them so they can eat with that silver plate, in Cannes, may they reap my rewards & continue to thrive for future generations. I’m taking care of everyone I love, that’s on my soul. My ancestors already paved the reality, just catching up to it. I am the modern day Rod Serling. I am Andrea Qoqonga. There is power in my name, therefore, there’s power in the community who believe in me.

Évariste-Vital Luminais - La mort de Chramm

Chram (died 561) was the son of Chlothar I, a Merovingian king of the Franks (r. 558-561), and his fifth wife, Chunsina.

Chram rose in rebellion against his father on several occasions. Following one of these rebellions, he fled with his wife and children to the court of Chanao, the ruler of Brittany. In pursuit of Chram, Chlothar defeated the combined forces of Chanao and his son in battle. Chanao was killed, and Chram, delayed in making his escape by sea because of his concern for his family's safety, was captured. Chlothar gave orders to burn them alive, but Chram was strangled and his body was placed in a cottage, which was subsequently burned. Chlothar reportedly died of remorse later that year.
