To the Reader.

MAny Writers do make doubt whether this Land had, ever any King called Bruce: same doe utterly deny that any such man was but the most Authors doe off me that when Troy was spoyted and burnt by the Greekes, the [...], and there was married to a daughter of L [...]i­nu [...] King of Fulcany, (now the Dukedome of Florence) by which Lady he had a son named Ascanius, who was the Father of Silvous Post­humus; that Silvin was the Father of Brute. Brute being but fifteen years old in fortunatly (as he in a forrest was hunting) slow his Father Silvius with an arrow as he shot into a thicket, thinking he had shot is a Deer: for which he was banished from that Countrey, and shipping himselfe wish a good (or great) number of his followers be land d here and was the first King of this Land. This is the opinion of many an­cient and learned men, and divers Writers doe oppose those authors: but I am resolved that ane King or other had Reigne here when it was first a Kingdome and because this Land bears the ancient name of Britaine (or Brutaine) I do hold with such Authors as for Brute doe hold with mee.
