AMBROSIUS See also:

AURELIANUS , See also:leader of the Britons against the See also:Saxons in the 5th See also:century, was, according to the legends preserved in See also:Gildas and the Historia Brittonum, of See also:Roman extraction. There are signs of the existence of two parties in the See also:national opposition to the invaders, but as Pascent, son of See also:Vortigern, is said by See also:Nennius to have held his dominions in the See also:west by leave of Ambrosius, the Roman See also:element seems to have triumphed. Some measure of success appears to have attended the efforts of Ambrosius, and it has been suggested that See also:Amesbury in See also:Wiltshire is connected with Emrys, the See also:Celtic See also:form of his name. See See also:Bede, Eccl. Hist. (Plummer), i. 16; Nennius, Hist. Britt. § 31; Gildas, De excidio Brittarum, § 25; J. Rhys, Celtic See also:Britain (1884), pp. 104, 105, 107.
