ABOUT: LEGENDARY/FICTITIOUS:
- British Legends:
The life of St. Helena
has inspired a cycle of British legends having very little
historical probability, according to which she was a Celtic
princess.
A poem based on the legend, identifying St.
Helena's father with Old King Cole of the nursery rhyme.
