The History of the Kings of Britain

Více o knize

Geoffrey of Monmouth's literary contributions, particularly in shaping the Arthurian legends, are remarkable for their coherence and depth. His seminal work, "The History of the Kings of Britain," offers a comprehensive account of nearly a hundred British kings, starting with the legendary Brutus. The narrative is divided into two parts: the first chronicles the early centuries of British history, while the second delves into the life of King Arthur, the Round Table, and the eventual decline of his lineage. This imaginative masterpiece has become a cornerstone of Arthurian lore.
