Stepson and son in law of Autorus Potentius Ursicinus

His mother is sometimes named as Morgan le Fay ? (of Glywysing) (?, ?)^{Ref needed !} although this is most likely a latter addition to the legends of King Arthur as the attempts to reconcile relationships based on erroneous assumptions. The attribution of maternity to Morgan Le Fay is based in part on two errors. One in chronology and the other in terminology. A historical Morgana le Fawr was married to an Arthur^{Ref needed !}... but this was centuries later, also the first marriage of Guean to Meleagant of Bigorre led to the attempt by Medraud to win control of his father's Morganaticum (dower, or Morning Gift due to him through his mother's first marriage).

In the years of 480-560. The Lords of Bigorre sought to break free from the overlordship of the Visigoths but was unsuccessful^{Ref needed !}. After the Battle of Vouillé (507), when the Visigoths were forced from Aquitaine by the Franks, Bigorre became part of the Frankish kingdom. Control of Bigorre was retained by the same king who controlled Toulouse. The region was returned as part of the Morganegyba of Galsuintha from her husband, Chilperic I. On Galsuintha's murder it passed to her sister Brunhilda as part of the arbitration imposed by Guntram of Burgundy. By the Treaty of Andelot (587) Guntram acquired possession of it and it remained with Burgundy until the reunion of various Frankish kingdoms in 613.
