Lucius (Welsh: Lles map Coel, Lleirwg, Lleufer or Lleufer Mawr) was a supposed 2nd-century king of the Britons traditionally credited with introducing Christianity into Britain. Lucius is first mentioned in a 6th-century version of the Liber Pontificalis, which says that he sent a letter to Pope Eleutherius asking to be made a Christian. The story became widespread after it was repeated in the 8th century by Bede, who added the detail that after Eleutherius granted Lucius' request, the Britons followed their king in conversion and maintained the Christian faith until the Diocletianic Persecution of 303. Later writers expanded the story, giving accounts of missionary activity under Lucius and attributing to him the foundation of certain churches.

  • San Lucio es, según una antigua tradición, el primero de los reyes de Britania que abrazó el cristianismo en tiempos del papa Eleuterio (170-185). San Lucio es además venerado como santo si bien se trata en realidad de un santo legendario, producto de una duplicidad hagiográfica con . (es)

  • Lucius van Brittannië was een legendarische koning van Brittannië gedurende de Romeinse bezetting, een zoon van de al even legendarische koning Coilus. Zijn leven werd beschreven door de twaalfde-eeuwse auteur Geoffrey van Monmouth. (nl)
  • Lucio di Britannia, noto come San Lucio (in inglese: Saint Lucius of Britain; ... – ...; fl. II secolo), è stata una figura leggendaria e forse un mitico re dei britanni al tempo dell'occupazione romana della Britannia di cui parla Goffredo di Monmouth nella sua Historia Regum Britanniae. Era figlio di re Coilo. È probabile che Lucio divenne lui stesso un missionario e viaggiò in Svizzera per predicare il Cristianesimo tra i Grigioni. Non lasciò eredi e dopo di lui scoppiò una lotta tra britanni e romani. (it)
  • Lúcio (galês: Lles ap Coel ) é um lendário rei dos bretões do século II e um santo tradicionalmente creditado com a introdução do Cristianismo na Britânia. Lúcio é mencionado pela primeira vez em uma versão do Liber Pontificalis do século VI, que diz que ele enviou uma carta ao papa Eleutério pedindo para ser cristão. A história se espalhou depois que foi repetida no século VIII por Beda, que acrescentou os detalhes de que, após Eleutério atender ao pedido de Lúcio, os britanos seguiram seu rei na conversão e mantiveram a fé cristã até a Perseguição de Diocleciano de 303. Os escritores posteriores expandiram a lenda, apresentando relatos de atividades missionárias sob Lúcio e atribuindo a ele o fundamento de certas igrejas. (pt)
