Nennius in the 9th century wrote a paragraph about the battles King Arthur fought. That is the first written story of King Arthur.

I will concede the Sir Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote the first book about King Arthur. If only Eddie was asking about the first book.. :p

And how about that, your refrence link agrees with me. :D

Wetzel is right. If only he remembered to put it in the form of a question...

Although one could argue I was asking for something with a title, in which case Coffee would be right. But alas, he too forgot to put it in the form of a question.

Hey, at least you guys made any rulings on this easy. :p

Who was Nennius and what was his paragraph about the battles King Arthur fought?
