Editing Ambrosius Aurelianus (section)

==In other texts==

In Welsh legend and texts, Ambrosius appears as ''Emrys Wledig'' (Emperor Ambrose).<ref name="Venning"/> The term "Wledig" is a title used by notable royal and military commanders. It is mostly used for famous figures such as [[Cunedda]], and the Roman emperor [[Magnus Maximus]] ("Macsen Wledig") when he appears in Welsh folklore.

In [[Robert de Boron]]'s ''Merlin'', he is called simply ''Pendragon'' and his younger brother is named ''Uter'', which he changes to ''Uterpendragon'' after the death of the elder sibling. This is probably a confusion that entered oral tradition from [[Wace]]'s ''[[Roman de Brut]]''. Wace usually only refers to ''li roi'' ("the king") without naming him, and someone has taken an early mention of Uther's epithet ''Pendragon'' as the name of his brother.

[[Richard Carew (antiquary)|Richard Carew]]'s ''Survey of Cornwall'' (1602) drew on an earlier French writer, Nicholas Gille, who mentions Moigne, brother of Aurelius and Uther, who was [[List of legendary rulers of Cornwall|duke of Cornwall]], and "gouerner of the Realme" under Emperor [[Honorius (emperor)|Honorius]].<ref>{{Cite book | first=Richard | last=Carew | author-link=Richard Carew (antiquary) | title=The Survey of Cornwall.
