Note: Uortiporius (Voteporix, Votecorigas, Modern Welsh Gwerthefy r ap Aergul), king of Demetia (Dyfed), was apparently old a t 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; H G.2: "Guortepir map Aircol"; ED] [Note: As the recipient o f a severe denunciation by his contemporary Gildas, and th e subject of a memorial stone, he is the best documented in dividual in the earlier generations of this ancestor table . His uncertain chronological position depends on the stil l debated chronology of his contemporary Gildas. (See the n otes under #524416 above.)]
