  This book is part of the Everyman series which has been re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type and includes an introduction and comprehensive notes. Lawman was a priest of Ernley in Worcestershire during the late 12th and early 13th centuries and Brut is his account of the history of Britain from its founding by the legendary Brutus to the arrival of the Saxons. Lawman was translating from the 12th-century French of Wace, who in turn was translating from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin prose.
