==Later tradition== In the 13th century [[Prose Merlin|Prose ''Merlin'']], Locrinus is called Logryn, and arrives in Britain a long time after the death of Brutus. He "a-mended gretly the Citee {{bracket|[[London]]}}, and made towres and stronge walles enbateiled", and then renamed it from New Troy to Logres, which it continued to be called until after the death of [[King Arthur]].<ref>{{cite book | editor-last=Wheatley | editor-first=Henry Benjamin | title=Merlin, Or, The Early History of King Arthur: A Prose Romance | volume=2 | publisher=Early English Text Society | year=1866 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yUEbTB5nKNYC&pg=PA147 | page=147}}</ref> Locrinus is the subject of the anonymous [[Elizabethan]] play ''[[Locrine]]'',<ref>[https://www.folger.edu/blogs/shakespeare-and-beyond/locrine-play-curious-complicated/ Folger Shakespeare Library website, ''The curious and complicated case of Locrine'', article by Alexandra E LaGrand, dated January 8, 2021]</ref> published in 1595 as "Newly set forth, overseen and corrected by W.S.," on account of which it was later included in the [[Shakespeare Apocrypha]]. {{House of Brutus|navbox=yes}}
