	Geoffrey of Monmouth
		Geoffrey built on his work, giving the descent of the British kings down to Arthur, who is the highlight of the book, and then down to Cadwallader, the last British king when the Anglo-Saxons finally overwhelmed the island.
		In Geoffrey’s time, and to some extent even today, the personal history of the ruling class was the same thing as the history of the nation itself.
		And Geoffrey Ashe, finding evidence for a fifth-century British general who may well be the historical basis for King Arthur, falsely assumes that some other written historical source must exist for the Historia, and, in turn, that Geoffrey's use of this hypothetical source is therefore aligned politically with Celtic revivalism.
