Note to GunnLeif Merl I 1VIII

[All]: Vortigern was remembered in tradition, not necessarily accurately, as the C5th British leader who authorised the first settlement of the Saxon invaders in eastern Britain (Hunter Blair 1963, 161-4; Bromwich 1978, 386-7). Geoffrey’s much elaborated account of his rise to power occurs in DGB VI.
