I do like the fact that he has Brutus landing at Totnes, then setting about defeating the Giants of the land.
I stumbled across something the other day suggesting that Troy was not in Turkey but in fact near Cambridge; and that all the heroes of the Iliad were Celts.
There was a suggestion that the British tribe the Trinovantes were named for New-Troy or "Troi-novantum".
Attempts to date the Trojan wars usually place them in the 12th or 11th centuries BC. Carthage was said to have been founded in 814BC, and the subsequent passage of the Trojans took them up the west coast of France and to Britain.
I just wonder if we shouldn't make a bit more of this, even though it is all so unlikely.
The entire country of Britain founded or started in Totnes!
