Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the Britons (Historia Brittonum) by Nennius. The Historia Brittonum describes the supposed settlement of Britain by Trojan expatriates and states that Britain took its name after Brutus, a descendant of Aeneas. The work was the "single most important source used by Geoffrey of Monmouth in creating his Historia Regum Britanniae" and via the enormous popularity of the latter work, this version of the earlier history of Britain, including the Trojan origin tradition, would be incorporated into subsequent chronicles for the long-running history of the land, for example the Middle English Brut of England, also known as The Chronicles of England. The work was the first source to portray King Arthur, who is described as a dux bellorum ('military leader') or miles ('warrior, soldier') and not as a king. It names the twelve battles that Arthur fought, but unlike the Annales Cambriae, none are assigned actual dates. Nennius - or Nemnius or Nemnivus - was a Welsh monk of the 9th century. He has traditionally been attributed with the authorship of the Historia Brittonum, based on the prologue affixed to that work, This attribution is widely considered a secondary (10th century) tradition.

Vain, perhaps, of claiming a descent similar to that of the masters of the world, the vanquished nations of western Europe adopted a similar persuasion. In the fourth century, Ammianus reports a tradition, which prevailed among the Gauls, that they were descendants of fugitive Trojans. " Aiunt quidam paucos, The Gaulish Bretons were proud of this origin so late as the sixteenth century. Parvi, in his funeral oration, pronounced over Ann of Bretagne, (1514) Queen of Louis the Twelfth, traces her genealogy up to Brutus and Ynoge, daughter of Pandrasns, a noble Emperor of Greece. (Lobinetn, torn. 1. p. 187.). post excidium Trojae, fugitantis Graecos undique dispersos, loca haec occupasse tunc vacua." (1. 15.) And in the sixth, Hunibaldus Francus deduced the Franks, from Francio son of Priam, and exhibits a regular line of sovereigns down to Pharamond, f and the Trojan extraction of the French was a favourite opinion iu France in the seventh and eighth centuries."

It is again discovered in the chronicle of the celebrated Sigebert de Gemblours, Sherringham, c. 1. p. 9.) which is brought down to the year 1112; it was also found in the MS. which Henry of Huntingdon saw at Bee, in Normandy, 1110, Langhorn Antiq. Albionenses: and Archalogia, vol. xii. p. 56.) and from which he also transcribed the Trojan origin of the Britons, in his own history (1. 1.). His narrative, together with the former, is given nearly in the words of Mark, without any of the amplifications with which the history of Jeffery abounds. It should not pass unnoticed, that in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey of Monmouth’s immensely popular Latin prose Historia regum Britanniae (c. 1138), followed by French verse translations – Wace’s Roman de Brut (1155) and anonymous versions including the Royal Brut, the Munich, Harley, and Egerton Bruts (12th -14th c.), initiated Arthurian narratives of many genres throughout the ages, alongside Welsh, English, and other traditions. Arthur, Origins, Identities and the Legendary History of Britain addresses how Arthurian histories incorporating the British foundation myth responded to images of individual or collective identity and how those narratives contributed to those identities. What cultural, political or psychic needs did these Arthurian narratives meet and what might have been the origins of those needs? And how did each text contribute to a “larger picture” of Arthur, to the construction of a myth that still remains so compelling today?
