Quippe Gurguncium, Belini filium et Britanniae regem, a Dacia cum triumpho redeuntem, Basclensium classem, apud Orcades inventam, vise ducibus eis adhibitis, primo in Hiberniam transmisisse Britannica testatur historia. Testatur quoque, famosum illum Britannise regem Arturum Hibernise reges tributarios habuisse ; et magnae Urbis Legionum curise Gillomarum Hibernine regem, cum aliis regibus insulanis interfuisse. Prseterea urbs Baonensis, quam hodie nostra continet Gasconia, Blasconise caput est, unde Hibernenses provenerant. ... First, we have the testimony of the British History, that Gurguntius, the son of Belinus, and king of Britain, on his return in triumph from Denmark, met the fleet of the Basclenses at the Orkney islands, and set them forward to Ireland, giving them pilots to direct their course thither. The same history informs us also that Arthur, the renowned king of Britain, had kings of Ireland tributary to him, and that Gillomarus, king of Ireland, with other kings of the isles, came to his court at Caerleon. Moreover, the city of Bayonne, which belongs at present to our Gascony, is the capital of Basclonia, from whence the Irish migrated. ...Giraldus Cambrensis: The Conquest of Ireland.
