St Miliau or Miliav is a Breton saint and eponym of the village of Guimiliau, where he is particularly venerated. He is said to be a good saint to invoke in cases of rheumatism. St Miliau is a figure of some importance in Breton cult and legend. He is sometimes represented as a cephalophore, i.e. holding his own severed head. It is hard to be sure what historical core there might be to the legends.

Его младший брат, Ривал, однако, был совсем другим. Отношения между братьями были напряженными. Однажды их спор настолько накалился, что Ривал ударил Мелю, после чего правитель скончался. Наследником Мелю стал его сын , который был ещё ребёнком. (ru)
