"When the good King Constantine died, his eldest son, Constans, became king. But Constans was not a warrior like his father. Vortigern, a cunning and ambitious noble, saw this weakness and persuaded Constans to become a monk, leaving the throne vulnerable. Vortigern then placed himself in power, ruling as a tyrant. The people, however, did not love Vortigern, and his treachery led to years of unrest and strife in the land."
