	EBK on Britannia: Ancestry of Coel Hen
		The most well-known was Coel Hen (the Old) - the Old King Cole of nursery rhyme fame - who held sway in Northern Britain in the early 5th century and was probably the last of the Duces Britanniorum.
		The ancestry of Coel Hen (the Old) is given in the pedigree of the Kings of Bryneich in the Harleian MS.3859 as:

	Coel Hen: a Cymric hero, also known as Coelius, Coel Odebog (Trust, the Old)
		Coel Hen mab Tegfan mab Eweint mab Telpwyll mab Vrban mab Gradd mab Rhifedol mab Rhydeyryn m Tegant m Cynderyn Wledig mab Elud mab Euddolen mab Afallach mab Beli Mawr.
		Coel's name is derived from the Brythonic for 'Trust', though the modern Cymric usage is 'belief' and his epithet 'the old' is one used for sub-Roman rulers of the north (and it seems to be an epithet that is also applied to certain of his descendants).
		According to Geoffrey of Monmouth Coel Godhebog (the Magnificent) was the dux of Camulodunum (Colchester).

	Emperor Magnus Maximus
		The legendary Coel Godhebog "the Magnificent", was Lord of Colchester, and his daughter St Helen supposedly married Emperor Constantius Chlorus.
		Although Magnus Maximus was a Roman general and of high rank, he appears to have left (or charged) much of the organisation and protection of the north to Coel Hen, whose territory came to be known as the Kingdom of Northern Britain, based at Eburacum (York).
		Thus, with Coel Hen in the North, and all of Wales shored against attack, the western coast of Britain was as strong as its eastern coast with its line of Saxon Shore defences.
