History Lessons for Misanthropes


Jun 16, 2020

In this episode, we take a look at Geoffrey of Monmouth and his 12th century book "The History of the Kings of Britain".  This is the book that contains the most famous source for the legend of King Arthur, though it is largely accepted that the legend is fictitious.  Why did Geoffrey write this book, at this specific time, and how did it become so widely known.  Few books from this time period have endured quite like this one.
