#MagnusMaximus, or #MacsenWledig in Welsh, was Western Roman Emperor from 383 to 388AD. According to legend, when he left Britain he transferred authority back to the Britons. Maximus is regarded as the founding father of several medieval Welsh kingdoms, including #Powys and #Gwent.
According to some sources, his descendants include the legendary mythical figures #UtherPendragon and #KingArthur. He is referenced in the Welsh song and football anthem #YmaOHyd by #DafyddIwan
