Elafius was a Britain figure of the fifth century AD. During a visit to Britain by Germanus of Auxerre in c. AD 446-7 he met with Elafius and miraculously cured his son. This act served to convert the Britons from Pelagianism to Catholicism. He is mentioned as being ''regionis illius primus''' or 'leader of that region' in Chapter XXI of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England. This description is taken to mean that he was one of a number of warlords rather than leader of all post-Roman Britain and provides a small insight into the political situation in the area at the time. His court may have been at Winchester
