Jago (Welsh: Iago; sometimes Jaygo; James in English) was a legendary king of the Britons in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae. The Latin text describes him as the nepos ('nephew' or 'grandson') of Gurgustius, and while the majority of translators and scholars interpret this as meaning Gurgustius' nephew, some call him his grandson instead. He succeeded Gurgustius' son Sisillius I to the throne and was succeeded by Sissillius' son Kimarcus. Geoffrey has nothing more to say of him.
