Historia Brittonum (829 - 830) Nennius |
| Quotation |
Aeneas autem regnavit tribus annis apud Latinos. Ascanius regnavit annis xxxvii. Post quem Silvius, Aeneae filius, regnavit annis xii, Postumus annis xxxix. A quo Albanorum reges Silvii appellati sunt. Cuius frater erat Britto. Quando regnabat Britto in Brittannia, Heli sacerdos iudicabat in Israhel, et tunc arca testamenti ab alienigenis possidebatur, Postumus, frater eius, apud Latinos regnabat. Post intervallum multorum annorum, non minus octingentorum Picti venerunt et occupaverunt insulas quae vocantur Orcades, et postea ex insulis vastaverunt regiones multas, et occupaverunt eas in sinistrali plaga Brittanniae, et manent ibi usque in hodiernum diem. Tertiam partem Brittanniae tenuerunt et tenent usque in hodiernum diem. Novissime autem Scotti venerunt a partibus Hispaniae ad Hiberniam. |
| Translation |
Aeneas reigned three years among the Latins. Ascanius reigned 37 years, and after him Silvius, son of Aeneas, reigned 12 years, Postumus 39 years; and from him the kings of the Albani are called Silvii; and Britto was his brother. When Britto reigned in Britain, Heli the High Priest ruled in Israel, and then the Ark of the Covenant was taken by foreigners. Postumus, his brother, ruled among the Latins. After an interval of many years, not less than 800, Picts came and occupied the islands called Orkney, and later from the islands they wasted many lands, and occupied those in the northern part of Britain and they still live there today. They held and hold a third part of Britain to this day. But later the Irish came from Spain to Ireland more recently.(J. Morris, p. 20) |
