The Opie's note that the naming of Colchester after Coel is wrong. Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall' confirms that Helen married Constantius, and their son became Constantine the Great. Gibbon doesn't think much of Geoffrey's history, and says Helen was the daughter of an innkeeper, not Coel, King of all the Britons (if there was such). |
