When Brutus had builded this citie, and brought the Iland fullie vnder his subiection, he by the aduise of his nobles commanded this Ile (which before hight Albion) to be called Britaine, and the inhabitants Britons after his name, for a perpetuall memorie that he was the first bringer of them into the land.  In this meane while also he had by his wife. iii. sonnes, the first named Locrinus or Locrine, the second Cambris or Camber, and the third Albanactus or Albanact.  Now when the time of his death drew neere, to the first he betooke the gouernment of that part of the land nowe knowne by the name of England:  so that the same was long after called Loegria, or Logiers, of the said Locrinus.  To the second he appointed the countrie of Wales, which of him was first named Cambria, diuided from Loegria by the riuer of Seuerne.  To his third sonne Albanact he deliuered all the north part of the Ile, afterward called Albania, after the name of the said Albanact:  which portion of the said He lieth beyond the Humber northward.  Thus when Brutus had diuided the Ile of Britaine (as before is mentioned) into 3. parts, and had gouerned the [Sidenote:  In the daies of this our Brute Saule and Samuell gouerned Israell.] same by the space of 15. yeares, he died in the 24 yeare after his arriuall (as Harison noteth) and was buried at Troinouant or London:  although the place of his said buriall there be now be growne out of memorie.
