Both texts associate him with Magnus Maximus (Macsen Wledic, reigned 383–388), a Roman usurper against the Valentinianic dynasty who was widely regarded as having deprived Britain of its defences when he took its legions to claim the imperial throne. Conan's cousin or sister, Saint Elen, is said to have been Macsen Wledic's wife.

Bizeljsko Castle
Bizeljsko Castle (Slovene: grad Bizeljsko; grad Orešje, German: Schloss Wisell) is a castle in Bizeljska Vas, a village in the Municipality of Brežice, in southeastern Slovenia. It consists of a residential part that forms the centre of the complex and includes a Baroque chapel, as well as an outer part that served a defensive purpose.

The castle was mentioned for the first time in written sources in 1404. It has belonged to the families Tattenbach and Windisch-Graetz, among others. The oldest parts of the now-visible structure date from the 14th century, and the castle has been rebuilt and expanded gradually over the centuries.

Bizeljska Vas
Bizeljska Vas (pronounced [biˈzeːlska ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Bizeljska vas, German: Wiselldorf) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia.

Night soil
Night soil is a historical euphemism for human excreta collected from cesspools, privies, pail closets, pit latrines, privy middens, septic tanks, etc. This material was removed from the immediate area, usually at night, by workers employed in this trade. Sometimes it could be transported out of towns and sold on as a fertilizer.

Another definition is "untreated excreta transported without water (e.g. via containers or buckets)". Night soil was produced as a result of a sanitation system in areas without sewer systems or septic tanks. In this system of waste management, human feces are collected without dilution in water.

Night soil is largely an outdated term used in historical contexts, while fecal sludge management remains an ongoing challenge, particularly in developing countries.

Privy midden
The privy midden (also midden closet) was a toilet system that consisted of a privy (outhouse) associated with a midden (or middenstead, i.e. a dump for waste). They were widely used in rapidly expanding industrial cities such as Manchester in England, but were difficult to empty and clean. A typical comment was that they were of "most objectionable construction" and "usually wet and very foul". They were replaced eventually by pail closets and flush toilets. Similar systems still exist in some developing countries, but the term "privy midden" is now an archaism.
