Description

The Arthurian legend is one of the clearest and earliest christophanies in Western literature, and Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain is the earliest recording of that legend. However, this masterpiece has so much more than that to offer. It contains a comprehensive record of British history from before the Roman times, all the way to Geoffrey's own era. Although now believed to be largely speculative, or even fictional, this medieval bestseller is a must read for history lovers of all kinds!
