Gurgustius

Gurgustius (Welsh: Gorust) was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth. He was the son of King Rivallo and was succeeded by Sisillius I, and then Jago, who was Gurgustius' nephew. Geoffrey has nothing to say of him beyond this.[1]

Gurgustius from the Genealogical Chronicle of the Kings of England to Edward IV (c. 1461)

The Book of Baglan (1600–1607) gives Gurgustius' name as Gorwst, and states that his second son, Antonius, was Duke of Cornwall.[2]
