Aeneas, whose tale is detailed by Virgil in the Aeneid, escaped Troy and ended up in Italy. Virgil elaborated on this minor character in the Iliad and enhanced Aeneas's demi-god status in order to relate a mythical origin to Emperor Augustus.

How did aenas relate to roman history?

There is a legend that Aeneas escaped Troy during the Trojan War and eventually went to Italy. He was said to have founded the Latin city of Lavinium and his son, Ascanius, founded the Latin city of Alba Longa and its royal dynasty. Romulus and Remus were said to be the sons of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of a deposed king of Alba Longa. The story of Aeneas was told in Virgil's poem the Aeneid in the 1st century BC. The Romans fancied themselves as being descendants of the Trojans. Connecting Romulus and Remus with the royal family of Alba Longa served to bridge a 400 year gap between the dates of Battle of Troy and the foundation of Rome


What happened to virgil in the Trojan war?

Nothing. Virgil was a Roman writer who wrote about the events following the Trojan War, specifically the journey of Aeneas (a Trojan hero who barely escaped the burning of his city and eventually went on to found a fairly unremarkable city called Rome). Virgil was writing centuries after the Trojan War, so nothing happened to him during said war.
