      Was Vortigern a king or a warlord?
      Vortigern was a 5th century ruler in Britain, more a warlord at the head of an army than a settled “king”. Some even believe that Vortigern was not his actual name. It is viewed as a kind of title given to him by his contemporaries, as at the time the name literally meant “Overlord” or the “Great King”.

      What does 'Vortigern' mean?
      The later Welsh form of this name is Gwrtheyrn Gwrtheneu ('the Thin'). Despite the name being synonymous with the man, 'Vortigern' has long been accepted as only a title by some scholars, with Pictish, or perhaps northern British overtones. It means literally 'over-king', although this is no bar to it still being a personal name.

      Vortigern's actual name is unknown as are many details about his life. The histories which tell his story are reliable enough to support the claim that he existed and was instrumental in a Saxon migration to Britain, but the main accounts are written by his enemies, and so his motivation is unclear.
