Locrinus was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey ofMonmouth. He was the oldest son of Brutus and a descendent of the Trojansthrough Aeneas. He ruled a portion of Britain named Loegria, named afterhim, which is roughly the boundaries of modern-day England. He reigned 10years, most of which were peaceful.

He revenged his brother, Albanactus's death by Humber the Hun by allyingwith his other brother, Kamber, and fighting Humber to the banks of ariver where he drowned. The river was named Humber after this battle.Locrinus divided up the spoils of war with his allies, only keeping goldand silver found on their ships for himself. He also took the daughter ofthe king of the Germans, Estrildis, whom the Huns had captured. Thisangered Corineus, an ally of his father Brutus, who had arranged amarriage between Locrinus and his own daughter, Queen Gwendolen. Locrinussubmitted and married Gwendolen but still secretly loved Estrildis, whomhe locked in a cave beneath Trinovantum (London) for seven years.

Locrinus became the father of a girl, Habren, by Estrildis, and a boy,Maddan, by Gwendolen. Soon after Maddan's birth, Locrinus sent him off toCorineus, the child's grandfather. When Corineus finally died, Locrinusleft Gwendolen and took Estrildis as his queen. Gwendolen went toCornwall and assembled an army to harass Locrinus. The two armies metnear the River Stour and there Locrinus was killed. His wife, Gwendolen,ruled after his death.
