This article explores the way in which Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae refashions the story of Brutus, a late classical legend recorded by Isidore of Seville, Bede, and the author of the Historia Brittonum. Using the latter as his source, Brutus, ‘a man who was hated by all’, was turned by Geoffrey into the glorious, eponymous ancestor of the inhabitants of Britain. In this way the habitation of the island when Julius Caesar arrived was explained. However, Geoffrey was not the first to use the Brutus story from the Historia Brittonum to this explanatory end; an anonymous scribe of a Canterbury manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle seems to have had the same idea, if not Geoffrey’s unprecedented literary talents.
