Projections back from dated individuals suggest that Coel Hen lived around AD 350–420, during the time of the Roman departure from Britain. Name His name varies with the language in which it appears: Coil (Old Welsh). He also appears as Coil Guotepauc (Cole the Protector) in Old Welsh. Coel (Welsh). In the transition from Old Welsh, Coil Guotepauc becomes Coel Godebog (Cole the Protector). However, Charles-Edwards notes that some of the Harleian genealogies list Godebog as Coel's father. He also appears as Coel Hen (Coel the Old). Coillus (Latin). In his Historia Regum Britanniae, Geoffrey of Monmouth shows the name both as Coel and Coillus. Cole (English) appears in some modern authors. Legendary Figure His frequent appearance in legend and literature suggests that such a person actually existed, however, the earliest version of the Welsh, Brut Tysylio, dates to the 13th century. The story (and it's variations) are based on Geoffrey of Monmouth's unreliable 11th century, " History of the Kings of Britain." Because no reliable contemporary facts are known about him, narrative is discussed under Research Notes. Research Notes Harleian Genealogies Early Welsh tradition knew of a Coel Hen (Coel the Old), a circa 4th century leader in Roman or Sub-Roman Britain and the progenitor of several kingly lines in the Hen Ogledd ("the Old North"), the Brittonic-speaking part of what is now northern England and southern Scotland. Coel Hen appears in the Harleian genealogies and the later pedigrees known as the Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd (The Descent of the Men of the North) at the head of several post-Roman royal families of the Hen Ogledd ("Old North"). Bromwich notes that the Coel Hen line, collectively called the Coeling, included such noted figures as Urien, king of Rheged; Gwallog, perhaps king of Elmet; the brothers Gwrgi and Peredur; and Clydno Eiddin, king of Eidyn or Edinburgh. Koch states that Coel Hen was also considered to be the father-in-law of Cunedda, founder of Gwynedd in North Wales, by his daughter Gwawl. The poem Y Gododdin mentions some enmity between the "Sons of Godebog," possibly a reference to the Coiling, and the heroes who fought for the Gododdin at the Battle of Catraeth. Judging by the genealogical references, Coel Hen must have controlled a large part of the Hen Ogledd. As an ancestor figure, he compares to Dyfnwal Hen, who is likewise attributed with founding kingly lines in the Hen Ogledd. Ayrshire folklore states thatCoel and his entire army perished in the Battle of Coilsfield. Bromwich notes that according to Welsh tradition the region of Kyle was named for Coel, and a mound at Coylton in Ayrshire was regarded as his tomb. While historian John Morris in his book The Age of Arthur [9] suggested that Coel may have been the last of the Roman Duces Brittanniarum (Dukes of the Britons) who commanded the Roman army in northern Britain, and split his lands among his heirs after his death, Morris's book has been widely criticized by scholars in the field. Colchester legend By the 12th century, Coel had become attached to the "Colchester legend," which claimed he was a ruler of Colchester in Essex and the father of Saint Helena, and therefore the grandfather of Constantine the Great. The legend originated from a folk etymology indicating that Colchester was named for Coel (supposedly from "Coel" and "castrum", producing "fortress of Coel"). However, the city was actually known as Colneceaster until the n was dropped in around the 10thcentury; its name likely comes from the local River Colne. Local tradition came to suggest that Coel was responsible for some of the ancient buildings in Colchester; a public conduit in the High Street was named "King Coel's Pump," the Balkerne Gate in the Roman town walls was known as "King Coel's Castle" and the remains of the Temple of Claudius over which Colchester Castle was built were called "King Coel's Palace." Geoffrey of Monmouth In the mid-twelfth century, two works appeared which added to the legend: Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae. (History of the Kings of Britain)] and Henry of Huntingdon's HIstoria Anglorum (History of England). In both of these works, King Coel of Colchester became the father of Empress Saint Helena, and therefore the grandfather of Constantine the Great. Diana Greenway notes that the passages are clearly related, even using some of the same words, but it is notclear which version was first. In Geoffrey of Monmouth's work, Coel is a King of the Britons following the reign of King Asclepiodotus (fl 292-296). Upset with Asclepiodotus's handling of the Diocletianic Persecution, Coel begins a rebellion in his duchy of Caer Colun (Colchester). Meeting Asclepiodotus in battle, Coel kills him, taking the kingship of Britain upon himself. Pleased that Britain has a new king, Rome sends senator Constantius Chlorus to negotiate with him. Coel agrees to pay tribute and submit to Roman laws as long as heis allowed to retain the kingship, but dies one month later. Constantius marries Coel's daughter, Helena, and crowns himself as Coel's successor. Helena subsequently gives birth to a son who becomes the Emperor Constantine the Great, giving a British pedigree to the Roman imperial line. Note therefore that Coel is not the ancestor of Constantius Chlorus. In reality, the mythical Helen ferch Coel did not exist, and is not the factual St. Helen, Empress of Rome.

Biography
Coel Hen or Coel Gudebog was the "Old King Cole" in nursery rhyme fame, and lived about 370 of the Common Era.

Projections back from dated individuals suggest that Coel Hen lived around AD 350–420, during the time of the Roman departure from Britain.

Name
His name varies with the language in which it appears:

Coil (Old Welsh). He also appears as Coil Guotepauc (Cole the Protector) in Old Welsh.
Coel (Welsh). In the transition from Old Welsh, Coil Guotepauc becomes Coel Godebog (Cole the Protector). However, Charles-Edwards notes that some of the Harleian genealogies list Godebog as Coel's father. He also appears as Coel Hen (Coel the Old).
Coillus (Latin). In his Historia Regum Britanniae, Geoffrey of Monmouth shows the name both as Coel and Coillus.
Cole (English) appears in some modern authors.
Legendary Figure
His frequent appearance in legend and literature suggests that such a person actually existed, however, the earliest version of the Welsh, Brut Tysylio, dates to the 13th century. The story (and it's variations) are based on Geoffrey of Monmouth's unreliable 11th century, " History of the Kings of Britain."

Research Notes
Harleian Genealogies
Early Welsh tradition knew of a Coel Hen (Coel the Old), a circa 4th century leader in Roman or Sub-Roman Britain and the progenitor of several kingly lines in the Hen Ogledd ("the Old North"), the Brittonic-speaking part of what is now northern England and southern Scotland.

Coel Hen appears in the Harleian genealogies and the later pedigrees known as the Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd (The Descent of the Men of the North) at the head of several post-Roman royal families of the Hen Ogledd ("Old North").

Bromwich notes that the Coel Hen line, collectively called the Coeling, included such noted figures as Urien, king of Rheged; Gwallog, perhaps king of Elmet; the brothers Gwrgi and Peredur; and Clydno Eiddin, king of Eidyn or Edinburgh.

Old King Cole Was a Merry Old Soul

Coel Hen is believed to be the subject of the familiar nursery rhyme:

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers, three.
However, in the Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes, Opie and Opie note that ""Because there is said to have been a Prince Cole in the third century A.D.... it does not follow that the song 'Old (or Good) King Cole' dates back to that period, even in the unlikely event of it referring to this chieftain."
