There was in ancient time a nation of the Franques, or French that were verie cunning shipwrights, and much exercies in that art, if we shall beleeue Latinus, Pacatus, Sidonius Apollinaris, & Beatus Renanus. And it semed good to that nation, that in what region so e- uer they chose them a place to build them a cittie and to dwell in, the portrature or sim- bole of a goodly great shippe should be dedi- cate to the honor of their shippes, and anti- quitie. The which thing Lutetia in Paris which is incomparable by that famous gift, hath chalenged to it selfe by ancient name euen to this day. Neither is it any absurditie to thinke that they borrowed the same cu- stome of the Gepides which also vsed the same before, and were verie famous thorow all the Germaine Ocean: The Troian nati- on perchance comming thither from their long voyage on the sea, after the subuersion of Troy, from whom it is thought of the most part, the nobilitie of France tooke their beginning and originall.
