Giant Kingdom

The Giant Kingdom was a dynasty of giants that existed from 2000 BC to 778 BC. It was the first ruling civilisation of the British Isles.

By the year 788 BC, the Giant Kingdom had rule over most of the British Isles apart from the Kingdom of Cornwall. The Giant leader, Gogmagog, laid siege to Cornwall in a final effort to gain control over the whole region. However, the siege was thwarted by the arrival of the exiled Latin Brutus and his band of freed Trojan slaves. The giants were driven back by the European warriors and Gogmagog was killed by Corineus, the Cornish leader.

Over the next ten years, Gogmagog's son, Goemagot, continued the attacks against the Kingdom of Cornwall and eventually killed Corineus. This prompted Brutus to begin a campaign to rid the British Isles of all giants. The Giant Kingdom collapsed in 788 BC after Goemagot was killed and the survivors were forced into the Scottish Highlands.
