From a tenant Gulliver is initially issued for cash before it is sold to the royal house in Lorbrulgrud, the capital of Brobdingnag. Gulliver contributes due to its small body size for Hofbelustigung, but is treated with respect. Gulliver tells the king of England and the conditions in the current Europe, which has much cause for criticism for the king ("... I can only draw the conclusion that the bulk of your natives the most pernicious forms of gender small creeping things, which nature ever allowed has, on the surface of the earth crawl ").
