Apparently it is a myth that King Vortigern was the one to invite the Saxons into Great Britain, after which they overran the island. Regardless, it is an enduring one, still current today.

Reminds me of one of my favorite lines from the classic film noir, Out of the Past:
Jane Greer: "Jeff, I don't want to die!"
Bob Mitchum: "Neither do I, baby, but if I have to, I'm gonna die last".
