Gurgus´tus, according to Drayton, son of Belīnus. This is a mistake, as Gurgustus, or rather Gurgustius, was son of Rivallo; and the son of Belīnus was Gurgiunt Brabtruc. The names given by Geoffrey, in his British History, run thus; Leir (Lear), Cunedag, his grandson, Rivallo, his son, Gurgustius, his son, Sisillius, his son, Jago, nephew of Gurguitius, Kinmarc, son of Sisillius, then Gorbogud. Here the line is broken, and the new dynasty begins with Molmutius of Cornwall, then his son Belinus, who was succeeded by his son Gurgiunt Brabtruc, whose son and successor was Guithelin, called by Drayton “Guynteline.”—Geoffrey, British History, ii., iii. (1142).
In greatness next succeeds Belinus’ worthy son
Gurgustus, who soon left what his great father won
To Guynteline his heir
M. Drayton, Polyolbion, viii. (1612).
Gurney (Gilbert), the hero and title of a novel by Theodore Hook. This novel is a spiced autobiography of the author himself (1835).
Gurney (Thomas), shorthand writer, and author of a work on the subject called Brachygraphy (1705-1770).

The best is that in shorthand ta’en by Gurney,
Who to Madrid on purpose made a journey.
