¶How Lud was made kynge after the deth of Ely his fader.

AFter the dethe of Ely regned Lud hys sone & gouerned well the londe & mo∣he honoured good folke / & tempred & amēded wycked folke / thys Lud leued more to dwelle at Troy than in ony other place of the londe. wherfore the name of newe Troy was left / & tho was the cyte called Ludstone. But the na∣me is chaūged thrught varyaunce of letters / and now is called London. And this king ma¦de in the cyte a fayre gate / & called it Ludgate after his name / And the folke of ye cyte are Lo¦doners And whā he had regned .xi. yere he dy∣ed & lyeth at London. And he had two yonge sones that one was called adraghē & that other ormace. But they coude neyther speke ne go for yongthe / And therfore the Brytons crow∣ned a strōge knyght that was called Lud / that was Cassibalanius brother / & made hym kyn¦ge of Brytayne / now called Engonde.
