Notizen zu dieser Person
Gwrthefyr was King Aircol Lawhir's son. He is better known to historyas Vortepor the "tyrant of the Demetians" denounced by the early 6thcentury monk, Gildas, in his De Excidio Britanniae. His reign wasapparently dogged by invasions from the powerful King Maelgwn ofGwynedd. Gwrthefyr's memorial stone, discovered at Castell Dwyran,provides clear evidence of his historicity. The inscription: "MemoriaVoteporigis Protictoris" shows that he used the Roman title ofProtector, rather than King. This has strengthens the idea that hisIrish ancestors were brought into Dyfed as mercenary peacekeepers,protecting the area against attack from fellow Hibernians.
