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.
Brutus of Troy Brutus, or Brute of Troy, is a legendary descendant of the Trojan hero Aeneas, known in medieval British history as the eponymous founder and first king of Britain. This legend first appears in the "Historia Britonum", an anonymous 9th-century historical compilation to which commentary was added by Nennius, but is best known from the account given by the 12th-century chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth in his "Historia Regum Britanniae". Notwithstanding this, he is not mentioned in any classical text and cannot be considered to be historical.
