About: Vortiporius

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Vortiporius or Vortipor (Old Welsh: Guortepir, Middle Welsh Gwrdeber or Gwerthefyr) was a king of Dyfed in the early to mid-6th century. He ruled over an area approximately corresponding to modern Pembrokeshire, Wales. Records from this era are scant, and virtually nothing is known of him or his kingdom. The only contemporary information about Vortiporius comes from the Welsh ecclesiastic Gildas, in a highly allegorical condemnation from his De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae (English: "On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain"). At the time the work was written (c. 540), Gildas says that Vortiporius was king of Dyfed, that he was grey with age, that his wife had died, and that he had at least one daughter.

  • Vortiporius or Vortipor (Old Welsh: Guortepir, Middle Welsh Gwrdeber or Gwerthefyr) was a king of Dyfed in the early to mid-6th century. He ruled over an area approximately corresponding to modern Pembrokeshire, Wales. Records from this era are scant, and virtually nothing is known of him or his kingdom. The only contemporary information about Vortiporius comes from the Welsh ecclesiastic Gildas, in a highly allegorical condemnation from his De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae (English: "On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain"). At the time the work was written (c. 540), Gildas says that Vortiporius was king of Dyfed, that he was grey with age, that his wife had died, and that he had at least one daughter. As a legendary king in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 12th-century treatment of the Matter of Britain, the Historia Regum Britanniae, Vortiporius was the successor of Aurelius Conanus and was succeeded by Malgo. He is not mentioned in the 9th-century Historia Brittonum attributed to Nennius. Vortiporius appears in the Irish genealogy given in the 8th-century work The Expulsion of the Déisi, in which his name is given as Gartbuir. The pedigree given in the Harleian MS. 5389, written c. 1100, is nearly identical, with his name given as Guortepir. In the Jesus College MS. 20, he is called Gwrdeber. The genealogy in Expulsion says he was a descendant of Eochaid Allmuir (English: "Eochaid the Foreigner" [literally (from) Overseas]), who is said to have led a sept of the Déisi in their settlement of Dyfed c. 270. A memorial stone was discovered in 1895 near the church of Castell Dwyran in Carmarthenshire bearing a Christian cross and with inscriptions in both Latin and in ogham. Dedicated to Voteporigis in the Latin inscription and Votegorigas in ogham, it was immediately assumed that this referred to Vortiporius. However, this assumption is refuted by modern linguistic analysis, which notes that the missing 'r' in the first syllable of 'Voteporigis'/'Votegorigas' is significant, and so the stone must be dedicated to a different person.

  • Vortiporio (Guortepir in antico gallese, Gwrthefyr in medio gallese, Vortiporius in latino; 475 circa – 540) è stato sovrano sul Dyfed, regno altomedievale del Galles che approssimativamente corrisponde all'odierno Pembrokeshire. Mappa dei regni medievali del Galles. Nell'Historia Regum Britanniae di Goffredo di Monmouth Vortiporio compare come sovrano dei Britanni (539–540), ma è noto che la veridicità della lista di re britannici fornita da Goffredo è molto discutibile. Era figlio di re Aergol Lawhir. Viene definito "tiranno dei demezi" nel De Excidio Britanniae di Gildas. Sotto di lui il regno fu apparentemente tartassato dalle invasioni del potente Maelgwn, sovrano di un altro regno gallese, il Gwynedd. La pietra tombale di Gwrthefyr, scoperta a , nel Carmarthenshire, ha fornito una prova tangibile dell'effettiva storicità della sua figura. L'iscrizione sulla lapide recita: «Memoria Voteporigis Protictoris» («Alla memoria di Voteporio Protettore»). Si vede, quindi, che egli utilizzava il titolo romano di protector, invece di quello di re. Ciò ha rafforzato l'idea che i suoi antenati irlandesi fossero giunti come mercenari che avevano il compito di proteggere l'area dagli attacchi degli iberni. (it)
  • Vortiporius (Engels Vortipor, Welsh Gwrthefyr) was koning van de in het midden van de 6e eeuw, en regeerde derhalve over het gebied van het latere , het huidige Pembrokeshire. Hij is een van de vijf koningen die worden genoemd (en veroordeeld) door Gildas. Vortiporius' naam is ook te zien op een gedenksteen uit dezelfde tijd, gevonden in nabij . Hier staat te lezen memoria Voteporigis protictoris ('in herinnering aan Vortipor de beschermer'), alsmede in ogham de Ierse versie van zijn naam Votecorigas. Er is echter twijfel over de identificatie van deze steen met Vortipor: De afwezigheid van de 'r' in de eerste lettergreep zou erop kunnen wijzen dat we hier met een andere naam, en dus een andere persoon, te doen hebben.
