Vortigern
The Evidence from Gildas
Vortigern described as a Proud Tyrant or
Arrogant Usurper who was unlucky
The first written
record of Vortigern is found in the writings of the British monk Gildas,
who wrote his De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae “The Overthrow and
Conquest of
De Excidio is a religious tract and not a definitive historical
chronicle. We may therefore accept the more outstanding features of
the DEB: the reception of the Saxons; the subsequent conflict between them and
the Britons; the resistance to the Saxons by a certain Ambrosius Aurelianus;
and finally the defeat of the Saxons at the Siege of Badonicus Mons in
the day of his birth (or so he seems to say).
In the work there is an account of a
meeting of the Proud Tyrant /Arrogant
Usurper Superbus Tyrannus and all the councillors:
At this meeting, the council invited
the Saxons in three keels from
Vortigern, who may have been named by Gildas,
is not portrayed by Gildas as a sole ruler, or a High King. He rules
together with a Council, which Gildas blames equally for the disastrous policy
concerning the invitation of the Saxons.
Vortigern may have presided over a
war council of chieftains rather than have been a king with total authority. In
all, Gildas’ view of the Superbus Tyrannus is almost positive; though he
is judged careless and lacking foresight, he is called infaustus
(unlucky), which is very mild considering Gildas’ views on the Saxons and the
hindsight he had on the disaster that resulted from the Tyrannus’
policies.
