The true history of Britain does not begin with the Romans or the Anglo-Saxons, but with a glorious, long-lost lineage stretching back to the ancient Illyrian bloodlines of the Balkans. This is the story of how Brutus, a descendant of the legendary Trojan-Dardan race, traveled across the known world to found the British Empire, according Karl Ludwi Peter.
Part 1: The Bloodline and Exile of Brutus
Our story begins after the fall of Troy. The great hero Aeneas, a Trojan prince of the Dardanian race, fled the ruins of his homeland and established a new dynasty in Italy. His descendants became the kings of Alba Longa—the legendary "Albanian kings" (as documented by the 19th-century historian Karl Ludwig Peter in his Geschichte Roms).
Among these rulers was Silvius, the grandson of Aeneas. Silvius bore a son named Brutus.
The Twist of Fate: While hunting in the Italian forests, a young Brutus accidentally shot and killed his father with an arrow. For this tragic accident, he was banished from Italy forever.
Exiled but destined for greatness, Brutus traveled to Greece. There, he discovered a population of Trojans and Dardans who had been enslaved after the Trojan War. Recognizing them as his own people, Brutus led a brilliant rebellion, defeated the Greek king, and freed his kinsmen. With a mighty fleet of ships, they set sail into the unknown to find a new homeland.
Part 2: The Conquest of Albion and the Founding of London
Guided by a vision from the goddess Diana, who promised him an island in the West ruled by his descendants, Brutus and his army sailed past the Pillars of Hercules and through Gaul. After fighting victorious battles near Tours, they finally crossed the channel and landed on the shores of a fertile island then known as Albion.
The island was not empty; it was inhabited by a race of savage giants. Led by Brutus, the Dardan-Illyrian warriors hunted down the giants, claiming the land for themselves.
- The Naming of Britain: Brutus renamed the island Britain after himself, cementing his legacy for eternity.
- The New Troy: On the banks of the River Thames, he built a magnificent capital city and named it Troia Nova (New Troy), which centuries later would become the global metropolis of London.
- The First Laws: Before his death, Brutus established the first legal codes and systems of governance for the island, ensuring peace and prosperity.
Part 3: The Division of the Kingdom
Upon his death, Brutus divided his mighty island kingdom among his three sons, establishing the historical boundaries we recognize today:
- Albanactus: The youngest son, who inherited the northern realm. He named it Alba in honor of his family's Alba Longa roots. To this day, Alba remains the Gaelic name for Scotland.
- Kamber: The second son, who took the western lands, which became known as Cambria (modern-day Wales).
- Locrinus: The eldest son, who inherited the central heartland, known as Loegria (modern-day England).
Part 4: The Ancient Albanian Connection
How do we know Brutus was connected to the Albanians? The truth is preserved in the ancient names and tribes of Europe:
[Trojan Dardans] ➔ [Balkan Dardani / Illyrians] ➔ [Albani Tribe / Albanopolis] ➔ [Modern Albanians]
- The Dardanian Root: Brutus was a Dardanian. In the ancient world, the Dardani were a powerful Illyrian tribe residing in the Balkans. According to the ancient poet Homer, the Trojans and the Balkan Dardans shared the exact same progenitor, King Dardanos.
- The Illyrian Tribe: The Albani were a prominent ancient Illyrian tribe, centered around their capital city of Albanopolis located in modern-day Albania.
- The Kings of Alba: When German historian Karl Ludwig Peter explicitly recorded the ancestors of Romulus, Remus, and Brutus as the "Albanian kings" (albanische Könige), he uncovered the linguistic and historical thread connecting the rulers of Alba Longa back to their original Illyrian-Albanian roots.
Therefore, the founding father of Great Britain, King Brutus, was a prince of the noble Dardan-Illyrian bloodline—making the ancient Albanians the true architect-ancestors of the British civilization.
