Celtic Myth 9, the Dream of Maxon (aka Emperor Macsen)

This tale is based on the true story of Magnus Maximus, a 4th Century Roman general based in Britain who made a failed bid to become emperor. Macsen, unlike his historical counterpart, is depicted as the true Emperor, but one who loses his throne to a usurper.


One night Emperor Macsen dreamed that he had met the most beautiful woman in the world. When he awoke, he set about tracking down the woman. Messengers were sent from Rome to retrace his dream voyage. From the peak of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, they finally spotted the castle in which she lived.
