'''Ambrosius Aurelianus''', or Aurelius Ambrosius, or (in Welsh) Emrys Wledig, was a legendary king of [[England]] who reigned before [[Uther Pendragon]], his brother. He was remembered as a great warrior, who fought against the various invaders of England and defeated them. It is highly probable that Ambrosius was based on a real historical person, as he is mentioned by the monk Gildas who was writing just a few years later. Ambrosius's predecessor as king was [[Vortigern]], who he defeated in battle.<ref>Britannia online, Arthurian Biographies: Ambrosius Aurelianus http://www.britannia.com/history/biographies/ambros.html</ref> | '''Ambrosius Aurelianus''', or Aurelius Ambrosius, or (in Welsh) Emrys Wledig, was a legendary king of [[England]] who reigned before [[Uther Pendragon]], his brother.
