King Hoel (Breton: Hoel I Mawr, lit. "Hoel the Great"), also known as Sir Howel and Saint Hywel, was a late 5th- and early 6th-century member of the ruling dynasty of Cornouaille. He may have ruled Cornouaille jointly after the restoration of his father Budic II, but he seems to have predeceased his father and left his young son Tewdwr as Budic's heir.
Hywel appears in Welsh legend and Arthurian legend as a "king of Brittany". A relative of Arthur, he was one of his most loyal allies (or, sometimes, knights) and was said to have helped him conquer "Gaul" (northern France).
The historical Hoel was the son of Budic II, king of Cornouaille in northwest Brittany. For all or most of his childhood, a usurping cousin ruled in Budic's place and the family resided in exile with Aergol Lawhir, king of Dyfed in Britain. He was credited with the foundation of Llanhowell during this time and, as "Saint Hywel", was revered by a local cult as its patron saint. The family was eventually restored to their home in Cornouaille, where Hoel may have ruled jointly with his father. He died shortly before he would have inherited the throne, however, and Budic's attempts to enlist his neighbor Macliau's support for the succession of Hoel's son Tewdwr Mawr ended badly. After Budic's death, Macliau invaded and the boy was forced into exile in Cornwall.
Hoel is a king of Brittany in the Arthurian legend.

I've lost my mind yeah, I've lost control
I've the lost the feeling in my arms, I'm a lost soul
Make the most of me baby, oh don't spit me out
This is how dirty girls get clean, don't leave me now
Listen to her lust, yeah, hear her disgrace
Listen to the fragile things as they all break

And I wanted you like no one before
Said you're coming back for me honey

And she wrapped her legs around him
And she's got no home
And he's looking at me, oh god he looks so dumb

I will define for you, the meaning of greed
While you were vanishing, this dirty girl got clean
