	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
		As I argued from the moment when I identified its influence in Gildas (who wrote only a few decades after), we have to see L as a historical, contemporary document; but there is plenty of evidence that the Arthur of Geoffrey has suffered severe contamination from purely legendary sources.
		Likewise, to make Findabair - who, unlike Guinevere, had certainly not caused the main war - die of heartbreak, a never-before-heard-from Ulaid love of hers, one Reochaid, must be wheeled out, to make nine kings of Munster, in true farce style, realize that they have been fooled, and start a civil war within Medb's camp.
		It is clear that the character of Findabair has lost a great deal of ground in Ireland, being quite secondary to her formidable mother and treated, throughout, as no more than a disastrous trap for heroes; compared to the Arthurian Guinevere, she is neither tragic nor interesting.
