	Trinovantum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		According to Geoffrey of Monmouth and other medieval British "historians," London had been called "Trinovantum" because it was "New Troy." They believed that Britain was settled by Brutus, grandson of Aeneas, and so that the Britains were Trojan.
		So, the name is likely a medieval misunderstanding of a local tribal name, combined with this weird desire to be a part of Classical culture.
		In legend, Trinovantum becomes Caer Lludd/Carlud, then changed to Lundein, and then to London.

	Geoffrey of Monmouth
		In the river Thames, on which Caesar intended to sail up to Trinovantum, he caused iron and leaden stakes, each as thick as a man's thigh, to be fixed under the surface of the water, that Casear's ships might founder.
		After he had furnished himself with all the necessaries, the Roman general embarked with a vast army, eager to revenge himself on a people that had defeated him; in which he undoubtedly would have succeeded, if he could but have brought his fleet safe to land; but this he was not able to do.
		For in sailing up the Thames to Trinovantum, the ships struck against the stakes, which so endangered them all on a sudden, that many thousands of men were drowned, while the ships being pierced sank into the river.

	Trinovantum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Trinovantum (Latin: New Troy) refers to the capital city of the Trinovantes tribe of Celts who settled along the banks of the River Thames before the time of the Roman conquest of Britain.
		Its name serves as the basis for Geoffrey of Monmouth's theory that Britain was settled by Trojans following the Trojan War.
		Although historian's doubt the existence of such a city before the Romans occupied Britain, Geoffrey claims that Trinovantum is the name of the city of London before King Lud rebuilt the city and named it after himself.

		Soon after Lud's death, Cassivelaunus was crowned king in favor of his two young nephews whom he had been serving for as regent.
		He gave to his elder nephew the duchy of Kent and Trinovantum, and gave to his younger nephew, Tenvantius, the duchy of Cornwall.
		Sometime in the beginning of his reign, Julius Caesar requested the British to pay tribute to Rome as a means of avoiding warfare between the two kingdoms which claim descent from the Trojans.

	Legends of London's Origins
		This bold story was probably based on a desire to give London a pedigree as old as Rome's and was substantiated by a misunderstanding of part of Julius Caesar's account of his invasions of Britain in 55 and 54 BC.
		But we should probably give him more credit as he was attempting to marry now lost Celtic folklore, historical sources, chance archaeological finds and dubious place name evidence into a coherent whole.
		It is certain that Geoffrey's historical objectivity was seriously marred by his understandable desire to play up the part of the native Britons.

		Brutus ordered that all that the Giant had told was written, so that next generations were informed of the past.
		After that battle, Brutus began organizing his new reign: he distributed some lands to his most faithful companions; he founded a new city, New Troja, that taken then the name Trinovantum and later became London; he made new territories prepare and cultivate; he made easier the activities of merchants and traders.
		Since then the Britain Island became the native land of the Druids, the mysterious priests, who were able to know deeply the human mind, to explain the secrets of the nature, to forecast the motion of the stars and of the planets, to resolve whichever enigma.

		The Dart might seem to have been named after the Celtic tribe of Durotriges who lived in the area, although perhaps the reverse is true—they being named after the river and countryside, which itself was named after Darda.
		Brutus is further credited with the founding of London as Trinovantum or New Troy (see Gascoigne, "The Trojan City of London," on-line at www.write-on.co.uk/history/trojan_london.htm).
		One author comments: "No longer need the story be regarded as fabulous, that Brutus the Trojan, the grandson of Aeneas (the hero of Virgil’s great epic), gave the name of Caer Troia, Troynovant or New Troy, to London.

		It is believed by historians of early Britain, for example, that a people known as the Trinovantes settled on territory to the north of the London region.
		Curiously enough, Geoffrey states that the first name of the city was Trinovantum.
		He also mentions the presence of temples within London itself; even if they had existed, these palisades and wooden enclosures would since have been lost beneath the stone of the Roman city as well as the brick and cement of succeeding generations.

	Independent, The (London): A lump of Lincolnshire limestone - or a clue to the origins of
		Many sources believe that for centuries the London Stone was from where proclamations were made.
		Some historians, for example Adrian Gilbert, believe the forgotten lump of Lincolnshire limestone is a sign that the city began as a settlement called Trinovantum, founded by Brutus and Trojan refugees two generations after the fall of Troy, and that the "Trinovantes" encountered by Julius Caesar in 54BC were their descendants.
		If that were true - and Wren suggested that it was too big to be of Roman origin - the London Stone would be an important artefact.

		Julius was the first exercising supreme power over the Romans who invaded Britain: in honor of him the Romans decreed the fifth month to be called after his name.
