Brutus called the newly won kingdom Britain, and his eldest sons, Locrine and Camber, gave their names to the provinces of Locria and Cambria when they became joint rulers of their father's kingdom, while Albanact, his third son, took possession of the northern part, which he called Albania (Scotland).
Albanact was not allowed to reign in peace, however, but was soon called upon to war against Humber, King of the Huns.

The latter was defeated, and drowned in the stream which still bears his name.

Locrine's daughter, Sabrina, also met with a watery death, and gave her name to the Severn.
[Sidenote: King Leir.] The posterity of Brutus now underwent many other vicissitudes.

There was fighting at home and abroad; and after attributing the founding of all the principal cities to some ruler of this line, the historian relates the story of King Leir, the founder of Leicester.

As this monarch's life has been used by Shakespeare for one of his dramas,--the tragedy of "King Lear,"-- and is familiar to all students of English literature, there is no need to outline Geoffrey of Monmouth's version of the tale.
The chronicler then resumes the account of Brutus' illustrious descendants, enumerating them all, and relating their adventures, till we come to the reign of Cassivellaunus and the invasion of Britain by the Romans.
