		Magnus Maximus was a Roman general of Spanish origin and was active in Britain in c.AD 380, resisting the incursions of the Picts and Scots.
		In withdrawing the garrisons, he is believed to have acknowledged the right of some of the Brythonic peoples of Britain to undertake their own defence, an acknowledgement which later historians have seen as a recognition of their right to quasi-independence.
		This has caused Magnus to be hailed as the father of Brythonic autonomy, and - by extension - the father of the Welsh nation.

		Elen Lluyddog is the heroine of the tale of Breuddwyd Maxen Wledig (the dream of Magnus Maximus) and also figures in triad 30 of the Trioedd ynys Prydain.
