Urianus

Urianus was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth. He came to power in 227BC.[1]

He was the son of King Andragius and was succeeded by Eliud.[2] Geoffrey may possibly have based the character on that of Urien Rheged (6th century), although there is no resemblance between them.
