COMING OF THE “‘ BRITONS” OR ARYAN BRITO-PHG:NICIANS UNDER KING BRUTUS-THE-TROJAN TO ALBION ABOUT 1103, B.C.

“ The Britains almost severed from the World.” VircGiL, Bucolics, i, 67. “At Jength he (Brutus-the-Trojan) came to this island named after him * Britannia,’ dwelt there and filled it with his descendants.” NENNIUS, Io. Tue historicity of the traditional Ancient British Chronicles which has thus been established in regard to the coming of the Brito-Phcenician king of the Scots, Part-olon, about 400 B.c., to the land of the Picts, by means of his own Newton Stone inscriptions and associated evidence, presumes that the earlier portion of these Chronicles, dealing with the somewhat earlier period, also contains genuine historical tradition.

Now this earlier portion of the Chronicles records circumstantially the first arrival of the Britons by sea, in Albion under “ King Brut-the-Trojan’’ about the year 1103 B.C., and his colonization and first civilization of the land, and his bestowal thereon of his ‘“‘ Trojan ’’ (Aryan) language and his own patronymic name “ Brit,’ in the form of “ Brit-ain ” or ‘‘ The Land of the Brits or Brit-ons.”’ This tradition, we shall now find, is fully confirmed and established by a mass of new historical facts and associated evidence.

These Ancient British Chronicles are nowadays known only through the Latin translations made by early British monks,

* English versions of these by J. Giles and others. Geofirey’s versicn was first translated into modern English by A. Thompson, Oxford, 1718; and reproduced mostly by Giles.
