After a thousand years, during which the City grew and flourished exceedingly, one Lud became its king. He built walls and towers, and, among other things, the famous gate whose name still survives in the street called Ludgate. King Lud was succeeded by his brother Cassivelaunus, in whose time happened the invasion of the Romans under Julius C sar. Troynovant, or London, then became a Roman city. It was newly fortified by Helena, mother of Constantine the Great.\' Reprint of the textbook on the history of London, from the foundation to the reign of George II, illustrated with many pictures and maps.
