Anwn Ddu or Annun Ddu was a pseudohistorical Welsh monarch who was believed to have been ruler of the kingdoms of Dyfed, Gwent, and Brycheiniog; however, he was proved to have never existed. The mythical king can be originated to Iolo Morganwg who forged a manuscript. He was also conflated with Marcus Antonius[1] (Antun Du), who ruled Greece during the War of Actium.[2][3]
A Welsh legend claims he was appointed by Roman usurper Magnus Maximus (and hence referred to in Welsh as Macsen Wledig - Maximus the Emperor). Some genealogies claimed him to be Magnus' son.
