Brut y Brenhinedd (Welsh for "Chronicle of the Kings") is a collection of variant Middle Welsh versions of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin History of the Kings of Britain. About 60 versions survive, with the earliest dating to the mid-13th century. Adaptations of Geoffrey's Historia were extremely popular throughout Western Europe during the Middle Ages, but the Brut proved especially influential in medieval Wales, where it was largely regarded as an accurate account of the early history of the Britons.
