Long before England had kings, the ancient island of Albion was said to be ruled by giants. But according to medieval legend, a new age was about to begin.

In Episode 20 Part 2 of Mythic Albion, we continue our journey into the legendary origins of Britain with the extraordinary story of Brutus of Troy—the man destined to become the founder of Britain and the first king of the Britons.

From before his birth, Brutus is surrounded by prophecy. We follow his remarkable lineage and the tragic events that lead to his exile from his homeland. His journey eventually takes him to Greece, where he encounters thousands of Trojan descendants living as slaves. Determined to free them, Brutus gathers an army and begins the quest that will ultimately lead him towards the mysterious island foretold by destiny.

Along the way, Brutus discovers an ancient temple and encounters the goddess Diana, who reveals the fate that awaits him across the western seas. He also meets Corineus, the legendary warrior who will become one of his greatest allies.

Their journey takes them across the ancient world and into Gaul, where Brutus and his followers face new enemies before finally setting sail for the mysterious shores of Albion.

But the island is not empty.

Albion is inhabited by a formidable race of giants—the descendants of the legendary Albina. Brutus and his Trojan followers must fight for their right to settle the island, culminating in a legendary confrontation with the giant champion Gogmagog.

From prophecy and exile to slavery, ancient temples, giants and epic battles, this is the story of how Brutus of Troy supposedly arrived in Albion and began the legendary foundation of Britain.

The age of the giants is coming to an end.

The age of Britain is about to begin.

Long before Britain had kings, kingdoms, roads or even a name, medieval legend tells of a forgotten age when the northern world lay buried beneath ice. As the frozen landscape thawed, a great island emerged from the sea—an untouched wilderness waiting for its first inhabitants.

In Part 1 of this Season Finale episode of Mythic Albion, we explore the remarkable medieval origin story of Albina, the legendary woman from whom Britain was once said to take its ancient name. Banished from Syria after plotting with her thirty-two sisters to murder their husbands, Albina is cast adrift upon the seas. After weeks of wandering, the sisters discover an uninhabited island, where Albina claims the land and names it Albion.

But their story is only just beginning.

As the sisters settle upon the island, they encounter a darker force. According to the legend, the Devil and his demonic followers descend upon Albion, seducing the women and fathering a race of mighty giants. Among their descendants is the fearsome Gogmagog, whose people become the first rulers of the island long before the arrival of Brutus of Troy and the age of men.

Blending medieval mythology, creation legend and folklore, this episode explores one of Britain's oldest and most extraordinary origin stories—a tale of betrayal, exile, demons and giants that once sought to explain the very beginnings of Albion itself.
