	The Historicity and Historicisation of Arthur
		Historia Brittonum and the Annales Cambriae, both of which would appear to have a concept of Arthur that is (at least partly) unequivocally historical.
		In Gildas's De Excidio Britanniae Ambrosius is given prominence as the initiator of the British counterattack which, after the fighting of several battles, culminates in the battle of Badon, just as Arthur in the Historia Brittonum initiates the British counterattack which, after the fighting of several battles, culminates in the battle of Badon.

		Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (English: The History of the Kings of Britain) is a pseudohistorical account of British history, written around 1136.
		The Historia was quickly translated into Norman French verse by Wace (the Roman de Brut) in 1155; into Middle English verse by Layamon (the Brut) in the early 13th century; and into three different Welsh prose versions by the end of the 13th century.

	Historia Regum Britanniae - Wikipedia
		La Storia dei Re di Britannia (Historia Regum Britanniae) è una celebre cronaca in latino, scritta da Goffredo di Monmouth intorno al 1136, e in seguito rivista e ritoccata dall'autore fino al 1147.
		Nella Historia Goffredo incluse anche le Prophetiae Merlini, una sua opera precedente costituita da una collezione di profezie di Merlino sul futuro della Britannia, anche in questo caso con implicazioni politiche piuttosto evidenti.
		La prima apparizione di Merlino, alla corte di Re Vortigern, in effetti riprende un episodio tradizionale, già presente nella Historia Brittonum di Nennio; il ragazzo che in Nennio si chiamava Ambrosius diventa Merlino, o (anche in questo caso con una probabile acrobazia di un Goffredo intento a riconciliare e unificare le fonti) Merlinus Ambrosius.

		One of these Welsh translations, the so-called Brut Tysilio, was proposed in 1917 by the archaeologist Sir William Flinders Petrie to be the ancient British book that Geoffrey translated, although the Brut itself claims to have been translated from Latin by Walter of Oxford, based on his own earlier translation from Welsh to Latin.

	Geoffrey of Monmouth
		A first edition of his Historia Britonum was in circulation by the year 1139, although the text which we possess appears to date from 1147.
		There is nothing in the matter or the style of the Historia to preclude us from supposing that Geoffrey drew partly upon confused traditions, partly on his own powers of invention, and to a very slight degree upon the accepted authorities for early British history.
		The influence of the Historia Britonum may be illustrated in another way, by enumerating the more familiar of the legends to which it first gave popularity.

		Certainly he had significant connections to Monmouth, as his name suggests, and the descriptions of Caerleon in Historia Regum Britanniae indicate familiarity with the area.
		Next was Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), the work best known to modern readers.
		Much of it is based on the Historia Britonum, a 9th century Welsh-Latin historical compilation, Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum and Gildas's 6th century polemic De Excidio Britanniae, expanded with material from Roman histories, Welsh legend, genealogical tracts, and, some claim, Geoffrey's own imagination.

		Geoffrey's main purpose is to extol the glories of the Celtic Briton ancestors of the Welsh, of how they became mighty but were eventually conquered by the Saxons, the ancestors of the English, through treachery and their own moral decay.
		The Historia "ends" in 689 with the prophecies of Merlin fortelling of a return to power by the Celts.
		The Historia was, for the most part, accepted as fact by medieval chroniclers but eventually doubt superceded belief.

	An Arthurian FAQ
		Given all this it is probably best to stick with the Historia's description of him as a battle-leader, though even this is uncertain and may be Bibically-derived by the author of the Historia, rather than a genuine reflection of any such Arthur's status.
		His Historia Regum Britanniae looks to have taken themes, motifs, names and narrative elements from a great variety of sources, with Geoffrey weaving them together into a work that is undoubtedly his own creation.
		His son Amr is mentioned in the early 9th-century Historia Brittonum and the 'Dream of Rhonabwy', though in the Historia he is sais to have been killed by Arthur.

		Historia Regum Brittanniae is the first elaborate chronological account of King Arthur’s reign.
		Historia Regum Britanniae patterns the British people in the image of the Israelites throughout the whole of the work (70)[iii].
		Historia as a whole, Tolhurst explains that “Geoffrey identifies the British as the chosen people of God (70).” As such, it is logical to pattern their history after that of the Hebrews.

	Nennius and the Historia Brittonum
		It has become clear that all MSS of the Historia Brittonum are different enough from each other, as well as from the later Welsh Bruts and the Historia Regum Britanniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth, to be seen as very late but original version of an independent Welsh tradition.
		These MSS often resemble each other the Historia Brittonum and the Historia Regum Britanniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth, which has in the past been the main reason to discard them as flawed versions of the Historia Brittonum, which as we have seen was not held in high esteem to begin with.
		I regret that I cannot accept their views on the value of the Historia Brittonum in any respect, because in my view (and that of others) these are largely based on an overvaluation of Bede and his use of Gildas.

	Merlin Legend
		Merlin's name is derived from the latin 'Merlinus' in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 'Historia Regum Britanniae' - "The History of the Kings of Britain" - which he wrote early in the 12th century.
		In 'Historia Brittonum' Nennius, the self-styled "historiographer of the Britons", wrote that Vortigern, the British king during the mid-fifth century, took refuge from the Saxons in the remote mountains of Heremus where he tried to build a fortified city.
		The 'Historia', however, remains the model for the Merlin whose involvement with King Arthur was subsequently developed by the Arthurian romancers.
