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.
