The History of the Kings of Britain is a pseudo-historical account written by Geoffrey of Monmouth. During the early 16th century, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze bought a copy of this book from a book shop in Constantinople.

Summary[edit | edit source]

A lively piece of pseudo-historical claptrap, the "History of the Kings of Britain" was credited as true history by far too many scholars until well into the sixteenth century CE. Written four hundred years earlier, Geoffrey of Monmouth claims to have copied most of his data from an earlier source, but most modern scholars believe this to be a steaming pile of nonsense.

-'''The History of the Kings of Britain''' was a book written by {{Wiki|Geoffrey of Monmouth}}, obtained by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] in the 16th century from one of [[Constantinople|Constantinople's]] many [[Book Shops|bookshops]]. While disregarded today with regard to historical fact, it was however highly influential in the 12th Century, introducing the name of King Arthur to non Welsh speaking peoples for the first time. The Normans, attempting to further assert their overlordship over the recently conquered England, were significantly influenced by the book,  believing the conquest of the English people, and later Britain, to be a justifiable Christian Crusade, akin to King Arthur's defence of Britain against Anglo-Saxon expansion.
