The Votadini exodus to Wales

[Arturus Uriconium]

It's all here: http://www.vortigernstudies.org.uk/artwho/dinas2.htm

I had actually read that article a long time ago and completely forgot about it!

Just to throw something into the mix: if Vortigern is the supreme-king of all three southern provinces he could have had courts, or even have held land in any of them even if he was from the east. Or. conversely, he was from the west but as superbus tyrannus held sway over the east also?

Some questions... again...

Why do you think Vortigern asked Cunedda to deal with the Irish problem and not his Saxons? And why would he need him there unless the region was depleted of forces? Why not ask neighbouring Cornovia/Pagenses/Powys, or whatever it was called then? Was it that he didn't want them spreading their territory?
