Ambrosius Aureliani is a literary tapestry woven together from the lines of Gildas, Nennius and Geoffrey of Monmouth. It is Mintz’s attempt to present a historically plausible, “World-Restorer” scenario for King Arthur while utilizing a vast majority of the sources in a synchronized manner. Ambrosius Aureliani is the legendary uncle of King Arthur and the title of the first book in a series called Arthurian Tales written by Leon Mintz. Merlin narrates the four epics.

Ambrosius Aureliani begins with the kidnapping of Theodosius, the son of King Adaulphus and Princess Placidia. Merlinus takes their son to Britain and leaves him there to be raised as a boy named Ambrosius. Years later after being driven off the island, Ambrosius finds refuge at Merlinus' Gallic villa near Aureliani. With Bishop Germanus of Auxerre, they return to Britain and battle Vortigern and his Saxon army.
