Wace and Layamon

This episode looks at the Roman de Brut by Norman poet Wace and the English poem Brut by Layamon. Both follow from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae. We also take a look at Gerald of Wales, and his account of the discovery of the Arthur and Guinevere's tomb at Glastonbury Abbey.http://www.matterofbritianpodcast.comhttp://www.patreon/com/thematterofbritainpodcast Hosted on Acast.
