The Votadini exodus to Wales

[Robert Vermaat]

What are your thoughts on August Hunt's theory on Cunedda?

August meant to explain Vortigern as an Irishman because of the strong legendary connections to the Llyn Peninsula. At the time we did not have answers how a seemingly eastern British Vortigern could also have such strong ties to the extreme West of Britain, other than being a different person. To me, though, August took a few steps too large (the explanation of Cynric being the father of Ceawlin while on the Wroxeter Stone it is (Maqui)coline who is the father of Cunorix, or Padarn Pesrut 'being' Da Dergda). Since then, I developed my own thoughts on Vortigern's connections to Llyn.
