BRIEFBRAS. Arthurian.
A surname of sir Caradoc.
A Norman corruption of Welsh Freichfras
("strong arm"), meaning "shrunken-arm." There is
also a French form, Brise-bras
("break-arm").
... Brief-Bras,
or "shrunken-arm," a Norman corruption of Freich-Fras,
or "strong-arm." To explain the reason of the former
epithet, the later romancers feigned that a wicked enchanter caused a
serpent to fasten on Caradoc's arm, and suck his flesh and blood, and
that no human power was able to assuage his pain, or remove the
reptile... (An Explanatory and Pronouncing Dictionary of the Noted
Names of Fiction, Wheeler, 1898)
