Brut (ca. 1190) is a Middle English poem compiled and recast by Layamon. It is named after Britain's mythical founder, Brutus of Troy. It is contained in the manuscripts Cotton Caligula A.ix, written in the first quarter of the 13th century, and in the Cotton Otho C.xiii, written about fifty years later (though in this edition it is shorter). Both are kept at the British Library.
