# Description of Page This is a page of running verse prose from *Albions England*, Chapter XVII. The text recounts the succession of early British kings—Gorboman, Archigallo, and Elidurus—and their alternating claims to the throne, before moving to later monarchs like Lud, Hely, Bledgrabed, and Cassiuelan. The passage concludes with an account of Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain, prompted by the Britons' refusal to pay tribute, and notes that the native Albinests and Britons united against this common foreign threat. The page contains ornamental typography and a chapter heading divider.
