In Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver’s Travels," the king of Brobdingnag is usually accompanied by an extensive escort army during significant events. However, they do not have enemies and are unfamiliar with firearms and gunpowder. Contrary to the Lilliputians, Gulliver describes the Brobdingnag people as colossal in size but peaceful and well-educated in mathematics, history, ethics and poetry.
