The Gesta Regum Britanniae (Latin: Deeds of the Kings of Britain) is a Latin epic written at some time between 1235 and 1254 and attributed to a Breton monk William of Rennes.The Gesta is fundamentally a versification of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae in Latin epic hexameters. It retains Geoffrey’s overall sequence and structure but expands upon those elements and stories which had the greatest dramatic potential while treating other sections more cursorily.
