Geoffrey of Monmouth

In this history of Britain, Geoffrey of Monmouth explains how Merlin the magician moved Stonehenge from Ireland to England to serve as a memorial for the hundreds of Britons treacherously slain by the Saxons during a truce meeting on Salisbury Plain. The story, which Geoffrey claims was based on an older work he had found, tells the account of King Arthur's uncle, who wanted to build a lasting memorial for the dead warriors. Read Geoffrey's entertaining history of Britain to learn about Merlin's supposed solution and much much more.
