I am slightly mystified, I am going to school essentially to become a historian. In my most recent class project I ran across a book that was cited by one of the authors I am examining, now the books in question are Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Brittain, and one of his sources, The History of Brittain by Ninneus, now ok.. Geoffrey's book is reasonable being that it is written like a history including narratives... Ninneus's book reads almost exactly like the most boring part of the Judeo-Christian Pentatuch - the endless lists of names!!! Now I ask you, while geaneology is important so that a person can know their roots, since when does it superceed the actual events in history that it can displace those events in a book that is supposed to be about events?!
