  • MANY MOTIVES: GEOFFREY of MONMOUTH and the REASONS for HIS FALSIFICATION of HISTORY John J. Berthold History 489 April 23, 2012
    MANY MOTIVES: GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH AND THE REASONS FOR HIS FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY John J. Berthold History 489 April 23, 2012 i ABSTRACT This paper examines The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth, with the aim of understanding his motivations for writing a false history and presenting it as genuine. It includes a brief overview of the political context of the book at the time during which it was first introduced to the public, in order to help readers unfamiliar with the era to understand how the book fit into the world of twelfth century England, and why it had the impact that it did. Following that is a brief summary of the book itself, and finally a summary of the secondary literature as it pertains to Geoffrey’s motivations. It concludes with the claim that all proposed motives are plausible, and may all have been true at various points in Geoffrey’s career, as the changing times may have forced him to promote the book for different reasons, and under different circumstances than he may have originally intended.

Vision Monmouth brings together a series of action based projects that are perceived to be deliverable in the medium term, which, together, will strengthen the presentation and viability of the town as a shopping and tourism destination, thereby improving the quality of life of those that live and work in the town and its hinterland. Vision Monmouth recognises that these ambitions need to be delivered through partnerships, involving and apportioning responsibility to those best placed to deliver, and ensuring that the collective skills, resources and knowledge of the town are employed to produce the most successful results. Vision Monmouth is not intended to be a strategic document but a summary of the key aspirations jointly held by partner organisations within the town. A vision of where the town could, and should, be in years to come.

  • Geoffrey of Monmouth's Welsh Sources
    Chapter 1 Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Welsh Sources Ben Guy Introduction: Britons, Bretons, and the Unworthy Welsh It has long been recognized that Geoffrey of Monmouth drew on sources origi- nating from the Brittonic-speaking world. This fact is frequently mentioned in scholarly literature, though it is rarely accompanied by detailed supporting evidence. It was, after all, with the Britons, both contemporary and ancient, that Geoffrey was primarily concerned, and it was to the Britons that he looked for source material concerning the history of Britannia.1 One might legitimately ask whether it is possible, or even necessary, to dis- tinguish between sources that originated from different Brittonic-speaking re- gions. It would appear that the three surviving Brittonic languages had not yet become mutually unintelligible by the 12th century. Gerald of Wales comment- ed on this matter in the first recension of his Description of Wales, completed around 1194, some 60 years after the propagation of the De gestis Britonum: Indeed, Cornwall and Brittany use almost the same language, which is, nevertheless, still intelligible to the Welsh in many and almost in all cases, on account of their original relationship. Inasmuch as it is less re- fined and rougher, it is closer to the ancient British language, or so I think myself.2 1 To avoid confusion, I shall continue to employ the adjective “Brittonic” rather than “British” when referring to the medieval and ancient Britons. I avoid the term “Celtic”, which is mean- ingless in this context. 2 Gerald of Wales, The Description of Wales i.6, ed.

  • South East Wales Itinerary: Follow the Story of the Lords of the Southern March
    South east Wales itinerary: follow the story of the Lords of the Southern March The Lords of the Southern March played a vital – but changing – part in the history of Wales following the Norman Conquest. You can follow the story of the start of the conquest of south Wales and the struggle to maintain supremacy at a cluster of Cadw sites. The first castle to be built by the Normans in Wales, Chepstow, the nearby Tintern Abbey, and Monmouth Castle were powerful statements of intent to subdue and stabilise Wales. The three castles of Grosmont, White and Skenfrith were built in the Monnow Valley to control the route between Hereford and Monmouth. Discover how together the sites formed part of a robust boundary between Tintern Abbey Norman England the Welsh kingdoms and explore the development of a different culture and society as a frontier land. Just 13 minutes drive from Chepstow you’ll find Tintern Abbey, the best-preserved medieval abbey in Wales. Founded by Marcher Lord Walter de Clare as a spiritual base for the Norman lords on the England Wales border, Tintern was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain. The present-day remains are a mixture of building works covering a 400-year period between 1131 and 1536 until the abbey was surrendered to King Henry VIII’s officials. Very little remains of the first buildings but you can marvel at the vast windows and later decorative details displayed in the walls, doorways and soaring archways. If you’re feeling energetic, take a strenuous uphill walk to the ‘Devil’s Pulpit’ for a wonderful bird’s eye view of this great gothic abbey.
