 GENUKI: Bettws, Montgomeryshire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868
The name is supposed to allude to the traditionary story of Havren, daughter of Locrinus, the son of Brutus, first king of Britain, by Essylt, daughter of the king of Germany, whom Locrinus had taken captive in his wars against Humyr, king of the Huns.
Locrinus, having espoused Essylt, in violation of a former pledge given to Gwenddolau, daughter of Corineus, who had accompanied Brutus into Britain, was compelled by a threat of hostilities to fulfil his engagement to the latter; and, concealing Essylt, whom he pretended to have banished from the kingdom, married Gwenddolau, according to his engagement.
On the death of Corineus, which followed soon after, Locrinus divorced Gwenddolau, and declared Essylt queen ; but, on the death of Locrinus, GwenddoIau assumed the government, and in retaliation caused Essylt and her daughter Havren to be drowned in the river Severn.

Cyprian, Eusebius, Epiphanius, Austin (Augustine), Gregory Nazianzen, Chrysostom, and Severus Sulpitius, who all lived within the fourth century, mention Thecla, or refer to her history.
Cardinal Baronius, Locrinus, Archbishop Wake, and also the learned Grabe, who edited the Septuagint and revived the Acts of Paul and Thecla, considered them as having been written in the Apostolic age and containing nothing disagreeing from the opinions and belief of those times, and for the most part as a genuine and authentic history.
What is presented here is not the original book of the early Christians; but however that may be, it is a translation from the Greek manuscript in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, which Dr. Mills copied and transmitted to Dr. Grabe.

 rogueclassicism: What the Romans Did For/to Scotland
This Brutus myth was used in the 13th century by England’s Edward I to justify his claim to Scotland.
He argued that Brutus had been emperor of all Britain, and had given England and lordship of Britain to his eldest son Locrinus, while he left Scotland and Wales to his younger sons, Albanactus and Camber.
The Scots rejected this as imperialist claptrap, but were equally keen to invent their own classical beginnings – the badge of any self-respecting mediaeval nation.
