In the chronicle of wasted time I see descriptions of the fairest wights And beauty making beautiful old rhyme In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights. SHAKESPEARE Sonnet cvi. In the long line of Arthurian chroniclers Geoffrey of Monmouth deservedly occupies the first place. The most gifted and the most original of their number by his skilful treatment of the Arthurian story in his _Historia Regum Britanniae_ he succeeded in uniting scattered legends attached to Arthur s name and in definitely establishing their place in chronicle history in a form that persisted throughout the later British historical annals. His theme and his manner of presenting it were both peculiarly adapted to win the favour of his public and his work attained a popularity that was almost unprecedented in an age that knew no printed books. Not only was it accepted as an authority by British historians but French chroniclers also used it for their own purposes. About the year 1150 five years before the death of Geoffrey an Anglo-Norman Geoffrey Gaimar wrote the first French metrical chronicle. It consisted of two parts the _Estorie des Bretons_ and the _Estorie des 2 Engles_ of which only the latter is extant but the former is known to have been a rhymed translation of the _Historia_
