Aeneas Silvius (said to have reigned 1110-1079 BC) [1] is the son of Silvius, in some versions grandson of Ascanius and great-grandson, grandson or son of Aeneas. He is the third in the list of the mythical kings of Alba Longa in Latium , and the Silvii regarded him as the founder of their house. [ 2 ]
Aeneas Silvius was an author, diplomat, and orator, and private secretary of Antipope Felix V and then the Emperor Frederick III, and then Pope Eugenius IV. [1] He participated in the Council of Basel , but left it in 1443 to follow Frederick, whom he reconciled to the Roman obedience.
According to him, Brutus was the son of Silvius and the grandson of Aeneas. While on a hunting trip with his father he accidentally shoots him and so flees Italy.

In Roman mythology, Silvius (Latin: Silvǐus; Ancient Greek: Σιλούιος, also spelled Sylvius) [1] or Silvius Postumus, [2] [3] was either the son of Aeneas and Lavinia or the son of Ascanius. He succeeded Ascanius as King of Alba Longa [ 4 ] and reigned 1139–1110 BC.
Ascanius married, and his wife became pregnant. In a variant version, the father is Silvius, who is identified as either the second son of Aeneas, previously mentioned in the Historia, or as the son of Ascanius. A magician, asked to predict the child's future, said it would be a boy and that he would be the bravest and most beloved in Italy.
