About the book

Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain is one of the most influential works of medieval historical writing. Written in the twelfth century, it presents a sweeping account of Britain's legendary rulers from its supposed foundation by Brutus of Troy through the age of King Arthur and beyond. Blending legend, invention and historical tradition, Geoffrey's work helped shape many of the stories later associated with British national mythology. His treatment of King Lear, Merlin and especially King Arthur had a profound influence on medieval literature and the later development of Arthurian romance.
