Completed in 1136, "The History of the Kings of Britain"
traces the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by
Brutus to the coming of the Saxons some two thousand years later.
Vividly portraying legendary and semi-legendary figures such as
Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin the magician and the most famous of all
British heroes, King Arthur, it is as much myth as it is history
and its veracity was questioned by other medieval writers. But
Geoffrey of Monmouth''s powerful evocation of illustrious men and
deeds captured the imagination of subsequent generations, and his
influence can be traced through the works of Malory, Shakespeare,
Dryden and Tennyson.
