Constantine rose to power during a bloody struggle in Roman Britain and was acclaimed emperor by the local legions in 407. Constantine gained the upper hand after several battles with the forces of the Western Roman Emperor Honorius. Athaulf the Visigoth later suppressed the revolt of Jovinus.[citation needed] Roman rule never returned to Britain after the death of Constantine III. Constantine III is of no relation to the Constantine described in Geoffrey's account and he has no link to the legend of King Arthur.[citation needed] Geoffrey's Constantine is the brother of Aldroenus, both of whom were the descendants of Conan Meriadoc.
