iL 7, 9, 11, 66, 252.) GWRTHEVYR, who is called Wortiporius by Geoffrey of Mon- mouth, succeeded Cynan Wledig as king of the Britons. He sup- pressed an insurrection of the Saxons, who were aided by a large body of their friends irom Germany, and after a re%n of four years was succeeded by Maelgwn Gwynedd. (Myv. Arch. ii. 369.) GWRTHEYRN (GWRTHENAU,) or Vortigem, was originally lord of Ergyng and Euas, and according to the Welsh Chronicles was one of the council whose opinion was held in the gr...eatest estimation. On the death of Constantine, he took his son Constans from the monas- tery into which he had retired, and made him king, securing to him- self all the real power as prime minister. By the aid of some Picts, whom he had selected for the king^s body guard, he succeeded in his treasonable designs of murdering the king, and placing himself on the throne without the consent of the chiefs. To secure himself he invited over the Saxons under Hengist and Horsa, A.D. 454. And soon after- wards he married Rhonwen, or Rowena, the daughter of Hengist, upon whom he bestowed the earldom of Kent.
