He then summoned his wise council for advice. It was an old custom that royal blood from a rival kingdom should be burried beneath the walls of the fort in order to ensure strength and protection. Guortygyrn then sought out a rival king's son, and he was tossed into a pit as the second walls were being built. Guorygyrrn was also made aware of a fatherless child who's parents wore the purple and were killed as Rome fell to the visgoths. His name was Ambrosius in Latin Myrvlynn in Celtic. Ambrosius may have witnessed the demise of the young boy who was thrown into the pit and questioned the ruler Guortygyrrn. The ruler didn't approve of his questioning and asked him his name. The young man said his name was Ambrosius Auerulinus son of Constantine the third. Guortygyrrn then realized that Ambrosius is of his Roman blood but wanted proof he is indeed of Constantine the third. Ambrosius held out his hand and presented the ruler his ring which was worn by Constantine the third. Guortygyrrn then realized that he is truly of royal blood and gave him rule over a section of Britain. Ambrosius may have been given the title of Vortimer by the welsh who dwelled in the area he ruled over. Thus being placed in history as Vortigern's son. The above should not be examined as truth but merely a possible scenario as to why Geoffrey's tale was invented.
