Ebraucus (Welsh: Efrawg/Efrog) was a legendary king of the Britons, as recounted in Geoffrey of Monmouth's pseudohistory Historia Regum Britanniae (c. 1136).
He founded two settlements: Kaerebrauc, the City of Ebraucus (Eboracum), north of the Humber (this later became York, whose Welsh name is Efrog); and Alclud in Albany (now part of Dunbarton, capital of Strathclyde).
[2] Alexander Neckam's De laudibus divinae sapientiae (c. 1213[3]) also mentions him, saying "Behold what a city the blessed Ebraucus built!
This repaired[4] or replacement statue, which depicted a king in armour, crowned, and holding an orb and sceptre, was transferred to a niche at Bootham Bar city wall gatehouse in 1738, where it remained until 1834.
