English: Historia Regum Britanniae (The History of the Kings of Britain), originally called De Gestis Britonum (On the Deeds of the Britons), is a pseudohistorical (fictitious) account of British history, written around 1136 by Geoffrey of Monmouth. It chronicles the lives of the kings of the Britons over the course of two thousand years, beginning with the Trojans founding the British nation and continuing until the Anglo-Saxons assumed control of much of Britain around the 7th-century. It is one of the central pieces of the Matter of Britain.
Latina: De Gestis Britonum vel Historia Regum Britanniae opus est mythistoricum Galfridi Monemutensis, anno 1138 perfectum. In hoc libro, narrationes vel carmina bardorum Cambriae de origine et historia Britanniae et praecipue de Arthuro Rege rescribuntur et partim reficiuntur ut formam historiae habeant. Opus primum Galfridi fuerat Prophetiae Merlini, ante annum 1135 scriptum, ubi Merlinus Arthuri vates praedicit res futuras insulae Britanniae regnorumque Cambriae et Angliae; quas "prophetias" Galfridus nunc renovat atque in novo opere inserit. Galfridus opus suum Roberto comiti Glocestriae dicavit.
