One of the most important aspects of a Brian Jacques Redwall novel are the names he chooses for the characters and places. Believe it or not, Jacques is very picky when it comes to titling various figures and often it appears he tends to use native British history as an influence for these characters and their attributes. Ambrosius Aurelianus may seem like a comma in the centuries of British history for Mr. Jacques to allude to, however some historians like to believe Aurelianus went by either one of two more well-known names, King Arthur or Uther Pendragon. What a clever guy.
