Bruillant

One of the characters in the thirteenth-century romance Grand Saint Graal. Bruillant discovered the Grail Sword in Solo-mon's ship, and with it slew Lambor, father of the Fisher-King. For this use of the holy sword, however, the whole of Britain suffered, for no wheat grew, the fruit trees bore no fruit, and there were no fish in the sea. Bruillant himself was punished with death for using the sword.
