This
section looks at his ancestors, his sons and
daughter, his wives and their parents, and
finally his descendents through the genealogies.
This
picture, from a manuscript of the Vergilius Romanus shows a dinner scene.
Scholars such as Dark and Henig see close
parallels between the figures depicted here, and
Celtic/British art such as in fourth-century
Durotrigan mosaics, the fifth-century
Lullingstone wall paintings and the Lindisfarne
Gospels. If true, the Vergilius Romanus would be
the oldest British book, and the scene here could
show Vortigern and his Family. Vatican Library,
Vergilius Romanus (folio 100v).
