Not quite. He was from Dardanus a city-state near Troy. His father Anchises was a prince in Dardania and the second cousin of Priam the king of Troy. Therefore, Aeneas was Priam's second cousin, once removed. His mother was the goddess Aphrodite (Venus). He was the commander of the Trojans' Dardanian allies. In the Iliad he was only a minor character.

What was the legend of aeneas?
The legend of Aeneas was a Roman legend. Aeneas was a hero of the Trojan War. His father was Anchises (the price of Dardania, near Troy) and the goddess Aphrodite (Venus). He was related to the king of Troy. He was rescued from death in battle by Aphrodite and Apollo. Aeneas set sail in search for a new land. He stopped in Sicily where his father died, and then in Carthage. He then landed in Latium (land of the Latins). Latinus, the king of the Latins, welcomed the Trojans and allowed them to settle there. Due to a prophecy, Latinus betrothed his daughter, Lavinia, to Aeneas. This infuriated Turnus, the king of the Rutuli, who had been promised Lavinia's hand. War ensued and Aeneas won. Turnus and Latinus died in that battle. Aeneas then founded the Latin City of Lavimium. When Aeneas died, Venus asked Jupiter to make him immortal. Jupiter agreed. The river god Numicus cleansed Aeneas of his mortal parts and Venus anointed him with Ambrosia and Nectar, making him a god. The legend of Aeneas was also linked to the legend of the foundation of Rome. Ascanius, the son of Aeneas, founded the Latin city of Alba Longa and Its royal dynasty. Romulus and Remus were the sons of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of Numitor, the deposed king of Alba Longa
