Commentary
Stewart Baldwin: 'Uortiporius (Voteporix, Votecorigas, Modern Welsh Gwerthefyr ap Aergul), king of Demetia (Dyfed), was apparently old at the time Gildas was writing (perhaps between 500 and 550) [Gildas, De Excidio Britanniae, 31; CIIC.358=ECMW.138, a memorial stone with Irish ogam inscription "VOTECORIGAS" and Latin inscription "MEMORIA VOTEPORIGIS PROTICTORIS; HG.2: "Guortepir map Aircol"; ED] [Note: As the recipient of a severe denunciation by his contemporary Gildas, and the subject of a memorial stone, he is the best documented individual in the earlier generations of this ancestor table. His uncertain chronological position depends on the still debated chronology of his contemporary Gildas. (See the notes under #524416 above.)]'
