Meruovaude

Meruovaude Adalberti was born near Tours in 473 AD.
== Biography ==
Uther was born on the estates of his father in 436 AD. After the Romans left (380-410), influencial politicians and warriors rose up as kings. Uther's father was one of these: Custennin ap Magnus Maximus. Named Eutherius, he was a bastard son, his mother being an impoverished British noble. Custennin complied with her not to baptise Uther, and to let him be a pagan. She died in childbirth.
He was raised alongside his brothers Ambrosius and Constans. They felt no enmity towards him, but his father did feel guilty. Uther's step-mother Cecilia came to accept him with time, accepting that her husband made a mistake, and eventually deciding that Uther was not to blame in any way.
In 445 AD, a Pictish raid took his father's life. Though his brother Constans took over, Gworthigern, his father's old advisor, decided to take the crown for himself. He poisoned Constans and took over his kingdom: South Wales.
Ambrosius and the 9-year-old Uther escaped, fleeing first to Ceint, and then to their distant cousin Aldrien in Armorica, Brittany.
Though Ambrosius became a warrior in Aldrien's retinue, Uther was still too young, and was educated and raised as Aldrien's ward. He came to view Aldrien as a foster father and befriended his twin sons Iudicael and Maxent, who were four years his elder.
In 450 AD, opportunity struck. Gworthigern's sons rose up in rebellion after he ousted the rightful king of Ceint, Gworangon, and gave his kingdom to the Saxons he had invited as mercenaries. Five years later, in 455 AD, Ambrosius and Uther sailed back for Northern Britain.
The Gododdin Tribes in the North were seemingly their best choice for allies, and Ambrosius met with their leaders and explained his situation. Though they were suspicious of his Imperial blood and upbringing at first, they quickly realised he was a true Briton in their eyes, and made him the first King of Gododdin. Gworangon's son Gwyamad was given the Northernmost part of Gododdin, Manau Gododdin.
