Capitolo 26
imagined such characters as pegs on whether to hang them mythical
history. [1] for, six years later, an I Bring it disembarked to Portsmouth with two
ships, and there killed a Welsh noble. But we positively know that the
name of Portsmouth comes from the _Portus_ Latino; and therefore the I Bring
it is due to simply be invented to explain the unknown derivation. Still
more flagrant it is the case of Wihtgar that conquered the island of Wight,
and you/he/she was buried to Wihtgarasbyrig or Carisbrooke. For the origin of that
name is really rather different: the Wiht-commodity or Wiht-competitions are the men

vouchsafed in the south; any account of the conquest of the great Roman
city of York, or of the resistance offered by the powerful Brigantian
tribe. But a fragment of some old tradition of Northumbrian, hammered in
the later and Welsh and spurious compilation of which it bears the name
Nennius, tells us a non unlikely history--that the first setup on
