Résumé
In "History of the Britons, " Nennius crafts a seminal narrative that delves into the early history of Britain, intertwined with legend and lore. Written in the 9th century, this text, steeped in the oral traditions of its time, employs a chronicle style that combines historical fact with mythological elements such as the tales of King Arthur and the Twelve Battles. Nennius's work serves not only as a historical account but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the complexities of identity and memory during a period marked by upheaval and transition in post-Roman Britain.
Nennius, a monk believed to have hailed from Wales, was presumably motivated by the desire to preserve the stories and events of a nation facing constant change. His background within monastic circles likely influenced his approach, melding ecclesiastical history with popular folklore. This context provides insights into the challenges of maintaining cultural heritage in a time when Anglo-Saxon invasions threatened the very fabric of British society.
For scholars, historians, and enthusiasts alike, "History of the Britons" is an indispensable resource that illuminates the early medieval period of Britain. Its blending of historical narrative and myth invites readers to reflect on the construction of national identity and the role of collective memory, making it a must-read for those interested in the origins of British history.
