Template:Short description The son of Gorbonianus was a legendary king of the Britons as recounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth. He was a son of King Gorbonianus but was never given a name in the text. He came to power in 305BC.<ref>Monarchie Nobelesse website, Bretons</ref>

According to Geoffrey, he was a good and prudent king who emulated his uncle and predecessor, Elidurus. He was just and compassionate to his people and never faltered in his righteousness to them.<ref>Sacred Texts website, Histories of the Kings of Britain (Book III), by Geoffry of Monmouth, tr. by Sebastian Evans, (1904)</ref> When he died, he was succeeded by his cousin, Marganus, the son of Archgallo.

In Layamon's Brut by Layamon he is named as Lador,<ref>Internet Archive, Layamon's Brut, or Chronicle of Britain: a poetical semi-saxon paraphrase of the Brute of Wace ... Vol. I</ref> but rules for a short time.
