For the most part the geography of LaÆ·amonâs Brut is inherited and already in place in Waceâs Roman de Brut. Yet, examination of the few names newly introduced by LaÆ·amon may help us in our reading of his Brut. One episode is explored in detail: LaÆ·amonâs treatment of the brothers Ãldad and Aldolf, in which LaÆ·amon has come under criticism for biblical inaccuracy in his handling of the story of Agag the Amalekite. Comparing parallel passages in Wace, the article argues that in this episode LaÆ·amon purposefully obtrudes the place-name Jerusalem, thereby tapping into resonances of the crusades.
