A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The History of England, Lucas and Luna explore the shadowy figure of Vortigern, the fifth-century British leader whose decisions reshaped the island forever. Drawing on the sparse and conflicting accounts from Gildas, Bede, and the Historia Brittonum, they unpack the legend and the likely history behind the 'Groans of the Britons' and the invitation of Saxon mercenaries. Who was Vortigern—tyrant, fool, or desperate pragmatist? They examine the political chaos after Rome's withdrawal, the threat of Picts and Scots, and the fateful choice to hire Hengist and Horsa. The conversation also touches on the dubious story of Vortigern's tower at Dinas Emrys, the prophecy of the red and white dragons, and the enduring mystery of whether he was a real king or a mythological scapegoat. This episode offers a nuanced look at a pivotal moment when Britannia gave way to England.
