Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, 1876, Vol. 16
Welsh and English Rule in Somersetshire after the capture of Bath, a.d. Arch. Journal, vol. Xvi., p. 123. Early English settlements in South Britain. Salisbury Vol. Of Arch. Institute, 1849, p. 37. Ur. Ellis, in the introduction to his Specimens of Early English Metrical Romances discusses the question of Geoffrey of Monmouth's work, and comes to the conclusion, that upon the whole there seems to be no good reason for supposing that this strange chronicle was a sudden fabrication, or the work of any one man's invention. It rather resembles a superstructure gradually and progressively raised on the foundation of the history attributed to Hennins.
