Jago from the Genealogical Chronicle of the Kings of England to Edward IV (c. 1461)

Jago (Welsh: Iago; sometimes Jaygo; James in English) was a legendary king of the Britons according to Geoffrey of Monmouth. He was the nephew of Gurgustius, succeeded his cousin Sisillius I to the throne and was succeeded by Sissillius' son Kimarcus.[1] Geoffrey has nothing more to say of him.[2]
