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." Hist. Liter, de France, torn. iv. p. 271. Du Chesne, Biblioth. det Auteurs, %c. c. 3. p. 10.) 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...

Download or read book A Companion to Geoffrey of Monmouth written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Geoffrey of Monmouth brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to provide an updated scholarly introduction to all aspects of his work. Arguably the most influential secular writer of medieval Britain, Geoffrey (d. 1154) popularized Arthurian literature and left an indelible mark on European romance, history, and genealogy. Despite this outsized influence, Geoffrey’s own life, background, and motivations are little understood. The volume situates his life and works within their immediate historical context, and frames them within current critical discussion across the humanities. By necessity, this volume concentrates primarily on Geoffrey’s own life and times, with the reception of his works covered by a series of short encyclopaedic overviews, organized by language, that serve as guides to further reading. Contributors are Jean Blacker, Elizabeth Bryan, Thomas H. Crofts, Siân Echard, Fabrizio De Falco, Michael Faletra, Ben Guy, Santiago Gutiérrez García, Nahir I.
