Anglicized form of Old Welsh Guorthigern, VORTIGERN means "high lord" or "overlord." In Arthurian legend, this is the name of the king who allowed the Saxons to settle in Britain in return for the hand of Hengist's daughter. Because his castle, Dinas Emrys, kept collapsing, Vortigern consulted Aurelius Ambrosianus, whom Geoffrey of Monmouth identified with Merlin in his retelling of the story.Â
