Magnus Maximus (Flavius Magnus Maximus, Welsh - Macsen Wledig, ca. 335 - 388) was Western Roman Emperor from 383 to 388. The earliest Welsh genealogies give Maximus the role of founding father of the dynasties of several medieval Welsh kingdoms, including those of Powys and Gwent. He is given as the ancestor of a Welsh king on the Pillar of Eliseg, erected nearly 500 years after he left Britain, and he figures in lists of the Fifteen Tribes of Wales.
