Encyclopedia > Trojan Genealogy

The genealogy of the Trojans was established in the Historia Brittonum of Nennius and was created to merge Greek mythology with Christian themes. It was probably written by the Welsh monk Nennius in the 5th century, although there is little known about him. It serves little historic value but does establish the mythical genealogical line of Aeneas of Troy, Brutus of Britain, and Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.


As in all early Christian genealogies, it begins with God and goes through Noah before diverting to other regions. From God to Noah as from Genesis:

As with most mythical genealogies of Judeo-Christian origins, Nennius splits the line at this point. Hisicion, the father of Brutus of Britain, was descended from Japheth on both sides. This is his paternal genealogical line:

Nennius lists seven sons of Jepheth, none of which are Juuin, so it is safe to say she is a female. This line is the maternal line of Hisicion which includes the Trojan line:

Hisicion had three other sons: Froncus, Romanus, and Alamanus, who are the mythical ancestors of all Europeans.


These lines conflict somewhat with the ancestry laid out by Geoffrey of Monmouth in which he states Ascanius is the grandfather of Brutus.
