Description

The Gesta Regum Britannie, a Latin poem of nearly 5,000 hexameters composed in the 13th century, offers a vital witness to the medieval reception of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britannie. This critical edition and translation, published by Boydell Press and D.S. Brewer, presents a retelling that emphasises the tragic aspects of Britain's historical decline. Written shortly before the middle of the thirteenth century and dedicated to Cadioc, bishop of Vannes in Brittany, the poem testifies to Breton enthusiasm for Geoffrey's influential pseudo-history. The work provides important evidence of how Geoffrey's Historia was received, adapted, and celebrated across medieval Europe, making it an essential resource for scholars of medieval literature, British history, and the transmission of historical narratives in the High Middle Ages.
