    Conan "le Tort" took Nantes in 990; descends from a Conan known as Cynan
    Medriadog, Prince of Albaine and Powys, who died in 421 (m.388 Dareara,
    sister of St. Patrick & dau. of Calphurnius) - the legends also have Cynan
    leaving to found a colony in Armorica, France in 384. Legend also traces
    Conan's line from ancient Welsh "kings." As Count of Rennes he subdued the
