Ambrosius Aurelianus as a war leader of the Romano-British who won an important battle in the 5th century, according to a 6th-century British monk best known for his scathing religious polemic which recounts the history of the Britons before and during what?
Ambrosius Aurelianus Ambrosius Aurelianus (Welsh: "Emrys Wledig" ; Anglicised as Ambrose Aurelian and called Aurelius Ambrosius in the "Historia Regum Britanniae" and elsewhere) was a war leader of the Romano-British who won an important battle against the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century, according to Gildas. He also appeared independently in the legends of the Britons, beginning with the 9th-century "Historia Brittonum". Eventually he was transformed into the uncle of King Arthur, the brother of Arthur's father Uther Pendragon, and predeceases them both.
Conan Meriadoc Conan Meriadoc is a legendary British leader credited with founding Brittany. Versions of his story circulated in both Brittany and Great Britain from at least the early 12th century, and supplanted earlier legends of Brittany's foundation. His story is known in two major versions, which appear in the Welsh text known as "The Dream of Macsen Wledig", and in Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae". Both texts associate him with Magnus Maximus ("Macsen Wledic"), a Roman usurper of the Valentinian dynasty who was widely regarded as having deprived Britain of its defences when he took its legions to claim the imperial throne. Conan's cousin or sister, Saint Elen, is said to have been Macsen Wledic's wife.
