Brutus I - Brutus in the Chronicle of England

Presenting the first in a six part series looking at the evidence for Brutus, the patriarch of Britain and starting with the history of Brutus the Trojan Prince as recorded in the Chronicles of England.

The Chronicles have been shown to be mostly accurate, with a large number of the kings listed within them being found on pre-Roman coinage.

There is more detail about Brutus in the Chronicle than any other monarch and the scrolls themselves were named after him, becoming later known as ‘The Brut.’

All the kings of the island from the time he settled it were descended from him and the settlers that he brought with him were his countrymen from Troy.

The Chronicles themselves were originally written in proto-Greek, then Latin and finally translated into Olde English which is the form they can be found in now.

This version has had the English updated to modern language by LA Waddell.
