[3] Albanactus was stated to be the youngest of three sons of Brutus and Innogen, and a descendant of Aeneas of Troy.

According to legend, upon their father's death, the eldest son Locrinus was given Loegria, Camber was given Cambria and Albanactus Albania.

It is recounted that Albanactus was killed shortly after he began his reign, by Humber, king of the Huns.

This forced the people of Albany to flee south to Albanactus's brother, Locrinus.

The Scots instead stressed descent from Gaythelos (Gael) or Gaidel Glas and his wife Scota.
