Geoffrey of Monmouth (c. 1100-1154)Welsh writer and chronicler. While a canon at Oxford, he wrote Historia Regum Britanniae/History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1139), which included accounts of the semi-legendary kings Lear, Cymbeline, and Arthur. He is also thought by some to be the author of Vita Merlini, a life of the legendary wizard. He was bishop-elect of St Asaph, North Wales, in 1151 and ordained a priest in 1152.
