These nine volumes provide an unparalleled corpus of source material for the student of the Dark Age history of the British Isles, for the greater part not otherwise readily available. Not only do they provide the evidential foundation upon which General Editor John Morris rested his narrative account of sub-Roman Britain, they present the reader with the opportunity for direct evaluation of the problems faced by historians studying the events and personalities of the fourth to the seventh centuries.

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Newcastle upon Tyne (School of English Literature, Language & Linguistics), course: The Arthurian Legend, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to give an account of the historical reliability of Nennius’ Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons) as it is one of the earliest sources in which a person called Arthur is mentioned. Therefore, this paper will, firstly, give a brief account of the Historia Brittonum. Its structure, content, and, most importantly in terms of historical accuracy, its origin and development will be reviewed and classified, not only in the context of the emergence of the Arthurian legend but also in terms of real historical events. Secondly, an overview of Nennius’ sources will be provided and, in a further step, successively analysed in more detail. These sources include accounts of a Welsh monk named Gildas, the Venerable Bede, and others. Finally, after having reviewed and discussed the sources’ historical reliability, everything will be put into context and the question as to how accurate Nennius really was will be answered. However, before reading this paper it has to be pointed out that scholars still argue about the correct dates, sources, and, surprisingly enough, about the content of Nennius’ Historia Brittonum as well as its interpretation.

"History of the Britons" (Latin: Historia Brittonum) is a historic manuscript of the indigenous British people that was originally written in Latin around 828 A.D. It is commonly attributed to the Welsh monk Nennius, as some early manuscripts have a preface written in his name. It describes the supposed settlement of Britain by Trojan expatriates and states that Britain took its name from Brutus, a descendant of Aeneas, a Trojan hero in Greco-Roman mythology.

History of the Britons (Historia Brittonum) by Nennius. The Historia Brittonum describes the supposed settlement of Britain by Trojan expatriates and states that Britain took its name after Brutus, a descendant of Aeneas. The work was the "single most important source used by Geoffrey of Monmouth in creating his Historia Regum Britanniae" and via the enormous popularity of the latter work, this version of the earlier history of Britain, including the Trojan origin tradition, would be incorporated into subsequent chronicles for the long-running history of the land, for example the Middle English Brut of England, also known as The Chronicles of England. The work was the first source to portray King Arthur, who is described as a dux bellorum ('military leader') or miles ('warrior, soldier') and not as a king. It names the twelve battles that Arthur fought, but unlike the Annales Cambriae, none are assigned actual dates. Nennius - or Nemnius or Nemnivus - was a Welsh monk of the 9th century. He has traditionally been attributed with the authorship of the Historia Brittonum, based on the prologue affixed to that work, This attribution is widely considered a secondary (10th century) tradition.

King Arthur is often written off as a medieval fantasy, the dream of those yearning for an age of strong, just rulers and a contented kingdom. Those who accept his existence at all generally discard the stories that surround him. This exciting new investigation argues not only that Arthur did exist, as a Dark Age chieftain, but that many of the romantic tales - of Merlin, Camelot and Excalibur - are rooted in truth. In his quest for the real King Arthur, Rodney Castleden uses up-to-date archaeological and documentary evidence to recreate the history and society of Dark Age Britain and its kings. He revives the possibility that Tintagel was an Arthurian legend, and proposes a radical new theory - that Arthur escaped alive from his final battle. A location is even suggested for perhaps the greatest mystery, the whereabouts of Arthur's grave. King Arthur: The Truth Behind the Legend offers a more complete picture of Arthur's Britain and his place in it than ever before. The book's bold approach and compelling arguments will be welcomed by all readers with an interest in Arthuriana.
