  Ambrosius Aurelianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ambrosius Aurelianus (incorrectly referred to in the Historia Regum Britanniae as Aurelius Ambrosius) was a leader of the Romano-British who won important battles against the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century, according to Gildas and to the legends preserved in the Historia Britonum.
Ambrosius Aurelianus is one of the few people Gildas identifies by name in his sermon De Excidio Britanniae.
Because Ambrosius and Vortigern are shown in the Historia Brittonum as being in conflict, some historians have suspected that this preserves a historical core of the existence of two parties in opposition to one another, one headed by Ambrosius and the other by Vortigern.

 Arthurian Biographies: Ambrosius Aurelianus
Ambrosius Aurelianus, the second son of the Emperor Constantine, was known to the Welsh as Emrys Wledig (the Imperator) or Emrys Benaur (the Golden-Headed).
Ambrosius returned to Britain, landed at Totnes (Devon) and it may be at this point in history that he clashed with Vitalinus (probably Vortigern or a supporter) at the Battle of Guoloph (Nether Wallop in Hampshire) as recorded by Nennius.
Ambrosius is credited, by Geoffrey, with the building of a monumental stone circle, the "Giant's Ring" (possibly Stonehenge or Avebury) on Mount Ambrius as a memorial to those massacred by the Saxons at the "Night of the Long Knifes" during King Vortigern's reign.

 The Generations of Ambrosius part 2: Ambrosius, the Elder, by Michael Veprauskas
Ambrosius himself is referred to as, "a gentleman who, perhaps alone of the Romans, had survived the shock of this notable storm...".
Ambrosius continued his contacts within the Roman Empire and the pro-roman faction of Britain, Vortigern continued to extend his influence through positioning of his relatives and friends in key positions and the hiring of Saxon mercenaries.
The name of Ambrosius' adversary, Guitolin, is the same as that of two of Vortigern's ancestors and so he is probably either a relative or it may possibly be the true name of Vortigern himself.

 The Heroic Age: The Last of the Romans
The life of Ambrosius elucidates the continuity of Roman Britain beyond the formal end of the Roman period in 410 and the rise of kingship in the former diocese during the fifth-century.
Ambrosius senior, who probably fought at Guoloph c.437, who died during the Saxon revolt, and who was a contemporary of Vortigern, can therefore be given a floruit of the second quarter of the fifth century.
Ambrosius, on the other hand, was of secondary importance, and he had been conflated with Merlin, who was originally a secondary figure in British tradition.

 Britannia: Ambrosius Aurelianus
Ambrosius Aurelianus was the leader of the Britons, whose impact on his time must have been significant, although it is clouded by much uncertainty.
Gildas says that Ambrosius, alone, is worthy of praise among his countrymen for his leadership of the British counteroffensive against the invading Anglo-Saxons.
Whether Ambrosius was a king of the Britons, a war leader against the Saxons, a Briton, a Roman, all of the above or none of the above, we don't know for sure.

He defeats and executes the Saxon chief, Hengist and erects Stonehenge with the aid of Merlin as a monument over the mass grave of 460 nobles massacred by Hengist.

Geoffrey keeps the reign short "dating" the whole of it in the 430's while Gildas implies that Ambrosius was active for many years.

 Ambrosius Aurelianus
After the Saxons ceased marauding and withdrew to their settlements, Ambrosius launched a counteroffensive campaign, possibly around 460, that brought about a period of fluctuating warfare climaxing with the British victory at the siege of Mount Badon (Badon Hill) about 500, bringing a more or less stable peace.
Any national status or rank Ambrosius may have held was strictly as a warrior/leader only, judging from Gildas.
There is naught else in history about Ambrosius but shaky evidence that attributes to him a role in the Briton colonization of Armorica, initializing the process that would result in the region's ultimate metamorphosis into Brittany.

A descendant of a Roman family, Ambrosius organized a coalition of former supporters of the Empire to resist the Saxons.
Given the latest date for Ambrosius (455), the earliest date for the siege (499), and the youngest starting age for Ambrosius, it is possible though not probable that he was the general at Badon.
It may be supposed, then, that Ambrosius Aurelianus came to power in Britain circa 460, as a successor of Vortigern and possibly as the victor of a civil war.

The earliest reference to Ambrosius is in a tract called De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae, written by a 6th century cleric named Gildas.
Wretched people fled to them from all directions, as eagerly as bees to the beehive when a storm threatens, and begged whole-heartedly, 'burdening heaven with unnumbered prayers', that they should not be altogether destroyed.
Their leader was Ambrosius Aurelianus, a gentleman who, perhaps alone of the Romans, had survived the shock of this notable storm: certainly his parents, who had worn the purple, were slain in it.

This trailblazing artistic integrity is greatly in evidence in the Zappa Album, a new release from Ensemble Ambrosius, a group that plays contemporary music with Baroque instruments, such as the harpsichord and the Baroque oboe.
The challenge Ensemble Ambrosius chose to face in The Zappa Album was simple and daunting at the same time: to translate Zappa's music into the Baroque instrumental idiom.

He is known (by those who have been in the City long enough) to have been in Paris since the 14th Century, and is thus one of the longer residents.
Ambrosius appears to have no real authority or influence in the City, yet is one of Paris' eldest and claims a substantial amount of respect (from what can be told, he is one of the highest ranking Tremere in the City, if not the highest).
He appears at the proper events, and shows himself at various Elysiums once or twice a year, always on schedule - so much so it is thought he does this out of forced habit.
