Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[cagwinn]

Agricola which you may want to call Aircol was according to the Welsh king lists the father of the famous Vortepor. Vortepor is known from us from Gildas (who also says his father was a good king, even if not giving him a name) and from a class-1 stone in ogam and latin, where he is given the roman title of Protector.

The two came from the irish dynasty of the Deisi Muman, which counter Morris views. The dynasty possibly got settled there by Magnus Maximus himself.

The stone inscription from Wales records the name of a man called Uoteporix - this is not the same name as Gildas' Uorteporix (or Uortiporius, as it is usually Latinized), though they do look similar (and are commonly confused by all but the most careful of readers).
