Notes

It is possible that the names of Vortigern's sons as recorded by Gallic sources are in fact not names but eponyms

  • Faustus = Conflagration
  • Britu = Of Britain
  • Riocatus = Act of the King, or the Noble One

NOTE: Not to be confused with his cousin St. Gurthiern who was the son of Bonus.
