No surviving flower-pieces by them are known, but many survive by the leading specialists, Jan Brueghel the Elder and Ambrosius Bosschaert, who both remained in the Flemish south of the Netherlands.

Aurelius Ambrosius, better known in English as Saint Ambrose ( c. 330 – 4 April 397 ), was an archbishop of Milan who became one of the most influential ecclesiastical figures of the 4th century.

But there are smaller snippets of tradition preserved in the Historia Brittonum: in Chapter 31, we are told that Vortigern ruled in fear of Ambrosius ; later, in Chapter 66, various events are dated from a Battle of Guoloph ( often identified with Wallop, ESE of Amesbury near Salisbury ), which is said to have been between Ambrosius and Vitolinus ; lastly, in Chapter 48, it is said that Pascent, the son of Vortigern, was granted rule over the regions of Buellt and Gwrtheyrnion by Ambrosius.

Mary Stewart's The Crystal Cave follows Geoffrey of Monmouth in calling him Aurelius Ambrosius and portrays him as the father of Merlin, the elder brother of Uther ( hence uncle of Arthur ), an initiate of Mithras, and generally admired by everyone except the Saxons.

Geoffrey combined existing stories of Myrddin Wyllt ( Merlinus Caledonensis ), a North Brythonic prophet and madman with no connection to King Arthur, with tales of the Romano-British war leader Ambrosius Aurelianus to form the composite figure he called Merlin Ambrosius ().

By 1620, the approximate date of Ambrosius Bosschaert's painting ( illustration, below ), new garden varieties had been developed, such as the cream-colored crocus feathered with bronze at the base of the bouquet, similar to varieties still on the market.

* Ambrosius Holbein ( 1494 – 1519 ), German painter, son of Hans Holbein the Elder

Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote about the town, claiming that it had been fortified by Ambrosius Aurelianus, king of the Britons after his victory over the Saxon forces of Hengist ( Historia Regum Britanniae viii, 7 ), that the captive Saxon leader Hengist was hacked to pieces by Eldol outside the town walls, and was buried at " Hengist's Mound " in the town.

After Vortigern's downfall, the fort was given to alias Emrys Wledig ( Ambrosius Aurelianus ), hence its name.

* Lothar Ambrosius ( 1903 – 1971 ), German military leader of the Wehrmacht during World War II

Walafridus Strabo, who died Abbot of Reichenau in 849, and must therefore have been nearly, if not quite, contemporary with this incident, says nothing about it, but ( De Rebus Ecclesiasticis, xxii ), speaking of various forms of the Mass, says: " Ambrosius quoque Mediolanensis episcopus tam missæ quam cæterorum dispositionem officiorum suæ ecclesiæ et aliis Liguribus ordinavit, quæ et usque hodie in Mediolanensi tenentur ecclesia " ( Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, also arranged a ceremonial for the Mass and other offices for his own church and for other parts of Liguria, which is still observed in the Milanese Church ).

* Ambrosius Frobenius ( 1537 – 1602 ), publisher and printer in Basel, son of Hieronymus

* Saint Ambrose ( Aurelius Ambrosius ), bishop of Milan

* Ambrosius ( Hussite ), priest, leader of Hussite peasants

Along with Albert Cornelis ( before 1513-1531 ) and Ambrosius Benson ( before 1518-1550 ), a painter from Lombardy, he worked in the workshop of Bruges ' leading painter Gerard David, while he was already a master at that time.

He is often related with Ambrosius Benson ( c. 1495 – 1550 ), a painter from Lombardy who emigrated to Bruges.

According to the RKD, his pupils were Joos de Beer ( later teacher of Abraham Bloemaert ), George Boba, Hendrick van den Broeck, Marten van Cleve, Ambrosius Francken, Frans Francken I, Frans Menton ( known for schutterstukken in Alkmaar ), and Isaac Claesz van Swanenburg.

Though set long after his time frame for the life of " Merlin Ambrosius ", he tries to assert the characters are the same with references to King Arthur and his death as told in the Historia Regum Britanniae.

Geoffrey's account of Merlin Ambrosius ' early life in the Historia Regum Britanniae is based on the story of Ambrosius in the Historia Brittonum.

* Ambrosius dies at Milan after a 23-year reign in which he dominated the political life of the Roman Empire.

In this work, however, he constructed an account of Merlin's life that placed him in the time of Aurelius Ambrosius and King Arthur, decades before the lifetime of Myrddin Wyllt.

The legend claims Constans, older brother to Aurelius Ambrosius and Uther Pendragon, spent his early life studying at a monastery.
