***  In 1136, Geoffrey of Monmouth finished his work entitled "The History Of The Kings Of Britain".  The translation used here is by Lewis Thorpe published in 1966.  From this work, I have been able to trace the lives of of the early Kings from Aeneas in 1240 B.C. to Kamber son of Brutus.  ***

        1240 B.C.  Troy VIIa destroyed by the Greeks after a long siege... Aeneas escapes from Troy, with his son Ascanius, and eventually becomes King of Italy.  He is the father of  Silvius; and Silvius has a son called Brutus.  This Brutus, who is thus the great-grandson of Aeneas, leads the subject Trojans out of Greece and westwards through the Mediterranean, joins with Corineus and comes eventually to Britain.  After the Trojan war, Aeneas fled from the ruined city with his son Escanius and came by boat to Italy.  He was honorably received by King Latinus, but Turnus, King of the Rutuli, became jealous of him and attacked him.  In the battle between them Aeneas was victorious.  Turnus was killed and Aeneas seized both the kingdom of Italy and the person of Lavinia, who was the daughter of Latinus.
Ascanius Iulus, King of Alba Longa  (-1137 BC), founder of Alba Longa (Latium on the western shore of Lago di Albano), the city near which Rome was founded in 753 BC.  Ascanius was the progenitor of the Julian gens, to which family Caius Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) belonged.  When Aeneas' last day came, Ascanius was elected King.  He founded the touwn of Alba on the bank of the Tiber and became the father of a son called Silvius.
Silvius (Selys Hen) "born in woods", This Silvius was involved in a secret love-affair with a certain niece of Lavinia's; he married here and made her pregnant.  When this came to the knowledge of his father Ascanius, the latter ordered his soothsayers to discover the sex of the child which the girl had conceived.  As soon as they had made sure of the truth of the matter, the soothsayers said that she would give birth to a boy, who would cause the death of both his father and his mother; and that after he had wandered in exile through many lands this boy would eventually rise to the highest honour.  The soothsayers were not wrong in their forecast.  When the day came for her to have her child, the mother bore a son and died in childbirth.  The boy was handed over to the midwife and was given the name Brutus.  At last, when fifteen years had passed, the young man killed his father by an unlucky shot with an arrow, when they were out hunting together.  Their beaters drove some stags into their path and Brutus, who was under the impression that he was aiming his weapon at these stags, hit his own father below the breast.  As the result of this death Brutus was expelled from Italy by his relations, who were angry with him for having committed such a crime.  He went in exile to certain parts of Greece; and there he discovered the Descendants of Helenus, Priam's son, who were held captive in the power of Pandrasus, King of the Greeks.  After the fall of Troy, Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, had dragged this man Helenus off with him in chains, and a number of other Trojans, too.  He had ordered them to be kept in slavery, so that he might take vengenance on them for the death of his father.  When Brutus realized that these people were of the same race as his ancestors, he stayed some time with them
