Quote:But this dead Goth-Taifalus supports the idea that Theithfallt/Thiudebalth was certainly a Visigoth, as was his son Tewdrig/Theodoric.No more than it adds fuel to the fringe opinion that the name Vortigern has a relation to the name Fritigern. Vortigern, it may be needed to add, was linked to Gloucester by a 9th-c. source quoting an earlier pedigree.
