Queen Gwendolen Gwendolen ( ) was a legendary queen of Britain , as told by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudohistorical work " Historia Regum Britanniae " ( " History of the Kings of Britain " ; ) . According to Geoffrey , she was the repudiated queen of King Locrinus until she defeated her husband in battle and took on the leadership of the Britons herself , becoming their first recorded queen regnant . A daughter of Corineus , eponymous king of Cornwall and one of Brutus ' s warriors , Gwendolen was married to Locrinus , the eldest of King Brutus ' s three sons , and became by him the mother of Maddan , a boy . Upon her father ' s death , Locrinus divorced her in favour of his Germanic mistress , Estrildis ( by whom he already had a daughter called Habren ) , and Gwendolen fled to Cornwall . Having built up a large army , she waged war against her ex - husband ; a battle was fought near the river Stour , in which Locrinus was killed . Gwendolen then assumed his throne and ruled independently in the manner her father had in Cornwall . After having both Estrildis and her daughter drowned in the river Severn ( ) , the ancient British monarch reigned peacefully for fifteen years , then abdicated in favor of her son and lived out the remainder of her life in Cornwall . The " Historia Regum Britanniae " says that at the time of her death Samuel was judge in Judea , Aeneas Silvius was ruling Alba Longa , and Homer was gaining fame in Greece . She is mentioned in Spenser ' s poem " The Faerie Queene " ( 1590 ) as " Guendolene " , and appears in the mythopoeic writings of William Blake as one of the twelve Daughters of Albion . It seems likely that her character also influenced that of the title heroine of Emmanuel Chabrier ' s opera " Gwendoline " ( 1886 ) .
