According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, Coel was Lord of Colchester and his daughter St. Helena was the mother of Constantine the Great. But earlier traditions have Coel Hen ruling northern Britain and dying in Ayrshire about 422 AD fighting the Picts & Scots. This day school examines the origins of the myth of Old King Cole, what the myth may tell us about northern Britain after the Romans left, and how the story has been reworked through the ages.
