History of the Kings of Britain

Gelesen von Paul Mazumdar

(4,467 Sterne; 45 Bewertungen)

More medieval romance than history, Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae represents the oldest versions we have of many legends of Britain, populated by such characters as the Leir, Cymbeline, Uther and Arthur Pendragon and Cadwallader. This is Giles' 1848 revision of Thompson's 1718 edition. - Summary by SkyRider (10 hr 25 min)

Thank you for the recording!

(4 Sterne)

A huge progression of kings and battles over 1500 years. King Lear! King Arthur! I'm glad to have heard this pseudo-history.

Interesting, but to my limited knowledge it was maybe too much information to be assimilated in one book. ... Loved the read though!!

Very interesting source material for later Arthurian literature. Well read, thanks

ZOUNDS!

Methinks I have read parahistory written by someone under the influence.

No mention of Boudicca even though the Romano-British period was related in this text.
