'The French paraphrase probably, of an Anglo-Norman _chanson
de geste_, composed late in the 13th century, traces of poetic
diction being legible in the prose. As interesting, and almost
as natural, as a modern novel; the historical characters
forcibly sketched in'.

Historia Regum Brittaniæ, or Historia Britonum, based, as
Geoffrey tells us, upon a very old book lent him by Archdeacon
Walter (Galenius) of Oxford, probably a volume of Breton
Legends. Geoffrey also drew from the older history of Nennius,
but there still remains a large portion of his work which has
not been traced beyond his own pen.
