      @caitlinrgreen There's good reason, though, why it's the Matter of Britain, not of England. Geoffrey's last line laments Æthelstan's reign.

      @holland_tom So it is about definitions! ;) They have to be writing about the Anglo-Saxons & be pro-Anglo-Saxon...! >

      @caitlinrgreen Yes, all identity is fluid, blah blah, but Geoffrey is self-consciously writing a history that is not English. That's his gig

      @caitlinrgreen I think, in that context, it's as perverse to define him as English as it would be to define Bede as Welsh.

      @holland_tom I think you have a very restrictive definition here, lol! There's no solid evidence for Geoffrey's origins, he wrote in Latin >

      @caitlinrgreen Only because the period in which he is writing is crucial to the development of English/Welsh/British identity.

      @caitlinrgreen It's precisely the period when English/Welsh identity IS becoming more restrictive - & Geoffrey's important in that process.

      @holland_tom Yes and no---*if* Harke et al right, then v much more restrictive in pre-Viking era. But again, it's a definition thing-- >
