Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1138) became one of medieval Europe's most popular and successful works. Scrutinizing Geoffrey of Monmouth's extensive manuscript corpus, Jaakko Tahkokallio explains how his accounts of King Arthur and Merlin appealed to medieval audiences by blurring boundaries between history and fiction.
