Brutus V - Sons of Brutus

Troytown maze in Tintagel, Cornwall

Brutus sons were named Cambria, Loegria and Alban, who were either named after or gave their names to, Cambria (Wales) Lloegria (England) and Albion (Scotland) and their tribes in those lands.

Cornwall was named after the Duke Corineus, who wrestled with the giant Gogmagog and won. There are statues of these two heroes in London, although sometimes one is called Gog and the other Magog and Corineus name is absent.

Dunwal Molmutius was the first to introduce municipal government and take the title of king, the rulers before him being named as chiefs or rulers. His laws became the bedrock of English common law and were codified by Alfred the Great well over a thousand years later, when he incorporated them into his own Anglo-Saxon law book.

He was also responsible for the seven main roads that spanned the country from coast to coast, three of them being centered in London and was the first British sovereign to wear a crown upon his head.

Some of the laws he created are included here and are taken from the Triads.
