- Named Uther at birth he assumed the surname pen-Dragon after the appearance of a dragon in the sky. Like his brother Aurelius, he was smuggled abroad on the murder of Constans (his oldest brother).
473-479 13. Euther[ius] "Pen Draco", the Welsh Uthyr "Penfragon", the Irish Uiobhar
Some writers have claimed that Euther[ius] was invented by GM (Geoffrey of Monmouth) or suppose GM mistakenly personified an epithet into an historical figure, however, Uthyr (Euther[ius]) is mentioned in pre-GM literature, and Taliesin, a sixth-century writer, and his contemporaries refer unmistakably to “the son of Uthyr” [Arthur] in their writings . If we believe GM, and Malory followed his version, Uthyr (Euther[ius]), was the younger brother of Ambrosius [Emrys “Wledic”]; and, if we believe Taliesin, who lived within living memory of Arthur, Uthyr was regarded as the father of Arthur by pre-GM writers.
The “HRB” says that on the news of Ambrosius’ death Octa and Eosa revolted and began ravaging the British countryside. Euther captured them after a battle and imprisoned them but they escaped with the connivance of their guards and took flight back to their settlement in Northumbria and raised another force and began ravaging the British countryside. Britain, meanwhile, was under attack by other barbarians, the Saxons, under Elli (Aella), a Saxon chieftain, who led a raid on Southern England while Euther[ius] was busy fighting the Angles, under Octa and Eosa, in Northern England. Elli and his war-band of Saxons appear briefly in the employ of the Roman Empire as “treaty-troops”; for their raid on Britain in 473 seems to have been undertaken as part of imperial policy against the break-away province of Britain and its “rebel king”, that is, Euther[ius]. Elli defeated local British forces while Euther[ius] was engaged fighting Octa and Eosa, and took hostages who were taken to Rome and presented to the emperor, Julius Nepos, who had succeeded Glycerius. Here belongs the episode in which St. Bran “The Blessed”, a British regional-king, made a deal with the Saxons and gave himself as a hostage in exchange for his son, Cerdic (Caradoc), age three, who they captured along with his mother and held for ransom.
