The "Triads of the Island of Britain" (also known as the "Welsh Triads") are a group of related texts in medieval manuscripts which preserve fragments of Welsh folklore, mythology and traditional history in groups of three. The triad is a rhetorical form whereby objects are grouped together in threes, with a heading indicating the point of likeness; for example, "Three things not easily restrained, the flow of a torrent, the flight of an arrow, and the tongue of a fool." The texts include references to King Arthur and other semi-historical characters from sub-Roman Britain, mythic figures such as BrĂ¢n the Blessed, undeniably historical personages such as Alan IV, Duke of Brittany (also called Alan Fyrgan) and Iron Age characters such as Caswallawn (Cassivellaunus) and Caradoc (Caratacus).
