Geoffrey’s ‘Very Old Book’ and Penda of Mercia

Arthuriana, 2012

Abstract

Major story elements in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s narrative concerning Uther Pendragon and Aurelius Ambrosius closely follow historical events recorded for the reigns of the seventh-century insular rulers Cadwallon of Gwynedd and Penda of Mercia. This may have important implications for the provenance of the Historia Regum Britanniae. (EP)
