Brutus or Brute of Troy is a legendary descendant of the Trojan hero Aeneas known in medieval British legend as the eponymous founder and first king of Britain. This legend first appears in the Historia Britonum a 9th-century historical compilation attributed to Nennius but is best known from the account given by the 12th century chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae. However he is not mentioned in any classical text and is not considered to be historical.
