Vortimer

Vortimer (400? - 450?) was a king of Britain in the early 6th century.

He is portrayed by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia regum Britanniae as one of Britain's legendary high kings and fought the Saxons during their uprising. He was the eldest son of Vortigern, the legendary High King. Around 447, he rose up against his father and briefly usurped his title. Vortigern slew him and reclaimed his throne.

Numerous contradictions in the various sources have suggested that possibly there were two Vortimers at this time. Indeed, he is sometimes depicted as a hero, sometimes as a felon, sometimes within the same source.
