  Dinas Emrys   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Such is the case with the castle at Dinas Emrys.
trictly speaking, Dinas Emrys doesn't qualify as a medieval Welsh castle, however this is a legendary fortress, believed to be the setting of one of the most enigmatic tales of early British history, left to us by Nennius, a 9th-century writer.
The story concerns the early Roman-British-Saxon legends surrounding Vortigern, Merlin, Ambrosius, and the two sleeping dragons (one red and one white) who awoke and fought for the supremacy of Wales.

 Dinas Emrys Gwynedd, Wales.
Altogether, I sense that the element of the king that consults sorcerers against a victorious innocent (holy man/saint/boy) is as foreign to Dinas Emrys as is Ambrosius Aurelianus, and I opt for the explanation that it was a wandering story that attached itself to the core, already present.
An alternative to this theory, though based on the same principle of mis-interpretation, is the connection between Vortigern and Dinas Emrys as based on a mis-representation of the name of the fortress.
Maximus was closely connected to Gwynedd, for the Roman unit based at Segontium (Holyhead) accompanied his army to the continent.

 EBK: Dinas Emrys, Gwynedd
The Mabinogion tells us that Dinas Emrys was the place where the Celtic God of Health and Healing, Lludd Llaw Ereint (the Silver-Handed) buried two fighting dragons on the advice of his brother Llefelys.
Excavations in the mid-1950s revealed that the Dinas Emrys was occupied to some extent in the late Roman period, but that rough stone banks around its Western end are later.
There would therefore seem to be few reasons to contradict Nennius in assigning this as the Palace of Vortigern and later, considering the name, Ambrosius Aurelianus (Emrys Wledig).
