MAJOR HISTORICAL CHARACTERS AMBROSIUS AURELIANUS: LEGACY OF THE PHOENIX KING Note: all material from Ambrosius Aurelianus: Legacy of the Phoenix King is copyrighted 1/23, 2008. Please give appropriate citations when quoting excerpts, which are in black print. The material listed in this section comes directly from either Roman or British history. The characters are documented as historic figures, but some of the events and circumstances attached to these characters are fictional. The links between a historical figure and his epithets are conjectural developments based upon the results of my two nonfiction books. In order to separate fact from fiction for the reader, the highlights in RED are not necessarily fact but additions to aid in the flow of the novel. The highlights in blue are extracted from Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, which is sometimes labeled as "pseudo-history."
