17. The History of the Kings of Britain, pt. 3: Merlin Hears a Who

Part 3 of 4 in the History of the Kings of Britain series.

The Rud Hud Hudibras Boiz cordially welcome you back to the island of Britain, where we embark on part three of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s pseudo-history 12th century book The History of the Kings of Britain. In this episode, we cover the history after the Romans reprimand the Britons for sucking and leave the island for good, whereupon the House of Constantine takes hold of the island. We are introduced to the Wildman of the Woods, Merlin the Wizard, and his aiding the Britons in their battles against the Saxon invasions, culminating in Uther Pendragon’s ascension to the throne and the birth of his son, Arthur of Britain.
