Note

Lleuver (the Second Blessed Sovereign, Lucius the Great, Lleurawg, Lleurwg Mawr, Great Luminary, Llewap Coel Benefit, Son of Belief) was baptized at Winchester by his father's first cousin, St. Timothy, who suffered martyrdom at age 90 on 22August 139. Lleuver founded the first Church at Llandaff (the earliest Christian Church in Britain and Western Europe) and changed the established religion from Druidism to Christianity. He married Gladys, daughter of Eurgen, leaving an onlyrecorded Child, a daughter also called Gladys. Archbishop Stillingfleet states that the existence of King Lucius is proved, apart from the records of Wales, by two coins bearing his effigy, a Cross and the letters L.V.C. It appears that the succession to the throne, from Lucius , son of King Coel, had ended, but had been resumed in another line, descending from Owen, another son of Linus, Owen being the Brother of Coel. |
