When the Greeks conquered Troy circa 1190 b. c., some of the surviving Trojans fled west by sea, for instance Aeneas who sailed to Italy (Atalia) to found Alba Longa near where later Rome would be built, and his great grandson Brutus later sailed from Alba Longa to what would be named Britain where he built Trinovantum on the Thames, that city a thousand years later rebuilt by British king Lud, London, Londinium to the Romans when they invaded that land occupied by whom they called Trinovantes.
