===Other links with Caernarfon===
Magnus Maximus and Elen are traditionally given as the parents of Saint Peblig (or Publicus, named in the Calendar of the [[Church in Wales]]), to whom a church dedicated stands in Caernarfon. The church is built on an important early Christian site, itself built on a Roman [[Mithraeum]] or temple of [[Mithras]], close to the Segontium Roman Fort. A Roman altar was found in one of the walls during 19th century restoration work. The present church dates mainly from the 14th century.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-3881-church-of-st-peblig-caernarfon#.VkZqFNLhCUk |title=Church of St Peblig, Caernarfon |website=www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk |publisher=British Listed Buildings |access-date=13 November 2015 }}</ref>

The medieval English king [[Edward I of England|Edward I]] was influenced by the legendary dream of Macsen Wledig/Magnus Maximus. In the dream Maximus had seen a fort, "the fairest that man ever saw", within a city at the mouth of a river in a mountainous country and opposite an island. Edward interpreted this to mean Segontium was the city of Maximus's dream and drew on the imperial link when building [[Caernarfon Castle]] in 1283.<ref>{{cite book|last=Allen Brown|first=Reginald|title=The Architecture of Castles: A Visual Guide|year=1984|publisher=B.T.

According to the ''[[Flores Historiarum]]'', during the construction of the Castle and the nearby planned town, the body believed to be of Magnus Maximus was discovered entombed; King Edward ordered its reburial in a local church.<ref>{{cite book|last=Taylor|first=Arnold|title=The Welsh Castles of Edward I|year=1986|publisher=Hambledon Press, London|page=78|isbn=0-907628-71-0}}</ref>
