As usual, Robert's right.
Been doing research elsewhere, not only do my sources support Robert's assertion that Vortigern was Vortigern's name (allowing for the variations of time and language :roll: ), but that--assuming he really existed--he suffered a "bad press" with succeeding historians trying to outdo one another in condemning him, his lifestyle, and his supposed role in the fall of sub-Roman Britain to the Anglo-Saxons.
