This Brute, of his lusty courage, was surnamed Greene shield, he raigned 12 yeeres, and was buried at Yorke. " Spenser's account of the victory won by the second Brutus, with its reference to the Scaldis, the Hania, and Esthambruges, may be based chiefly on Stow's chronicle, which it closely resembles, even in the order in which it gives the proper names. Holinshed, however, may have had some influence on Spenser's account of the " green shield " which Brunchildis saw dyed in " dolorous ver- meil, " for Holinshed alone refers to the fact that " Brutus bare alwayes in the field a greene shielde, whereof he toke hys surname.
