==Associated works== [[File:Jesus-College-MS-111 00293 147r (cropped) Enwau ac Anrhyfeddodau Ynys Prydain.jpg|thumb|The opening few lines of the [[Middle Welsh]] manuscript ''Enwau ac Anryfeddodau Ynys Prydain'' from the [[Red Book of Hergest]], which continued the wonders tradition of geographical descriptions of the Island of Britain after the ''Historia''<ref>{{cite journal |last1=McMullen |first1=A. Joseph |title=Enwau ac Anryfeddodau Ynys Prydain and a Tradition of Topographical Wonders in Medieval Britain |journal=Harvard University |page=40 |url=https://journal.fi/scf/article/view/6774 |access-date=21 July 2021}}</ref>]] A number of works that are frequently associated with the ''Historia Brittonum'', in part because some of them first appear with the Harleian manuscript, and partly because when the ''Historia Britonum'' is studied, these sources are eventually mentioned. *The [[Frankish Table of Nations]]. Written around 520, this is a short genealogical text in the mould of the Biblical [[Table of Nations]]. Both tables are incorporated into the genealogical sections of the ''Historia''. The Frankish Table transmits to the ''Historia'' some information derived from [[Tacitus]]' ''[[Germania (book)|Germania]]'',<ref>{{cite journal |first=Walter |last=Goffart |authorlink=Walter Goffart |title=The Supposedly 'Frankish' Table of Nations: An Edition and Study |journal=Frühmittelalterliche Studien |volume=17 |issue=1 |doi=10.1515/9783110242164.98 |pages=98–130 |year=1983 |s2cid=201734002}} [Reprinted in ''Rome's Fall and After'' (Hambledon, 1989), pp. 133–166.]</ref> albeit in garbled form. It is probably [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] in origin.<ref>{{cite journal |first=Walter |last=Goffart |authorlink=Walter Goffart |title=The Supposedly 'Frankish' Table of Nations: An Edition and Study |journal=Frühmittelalterliche Studien |volume=17 |issue=1 |doi=10.1515/9783110242164.98 |page=117 |year=1983 |s2cid=201734002}} [Reprinted in ''Rome's Fall and After'' (Hambledon, 1989), pp. 133–166.]</ref> *The ''[[Lebor Bretnach]]''. An Irish translation of the ''Historia Brittonum''<ref>{{Harvnb|Todd|1848}} ed. tr.</ref> and a recension of the '[[Nennius|Nennian]]' ''Historia Brittonum''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://celt.ucc.ie//published/T100028/index.html |title=The Irish version of the Historia Britonum of Nennius |work=Corpus of Electronic Texts |publisher=University College |location=Cork}} Text ID Number: T100028</ref> *The ''[[Annales Cambriae]]''. This is a chronicle consisting of a series of unnumbered years, from AD 445 to 977, some of which have events added. Two notable events are next to AD 516, which describes The Battle of Badon, and 537, which describes the [[Battle of Camlann]], "in which Arthur and [[Mordred]] fell." A version of this was used as a starting point for later Welsh Chronicles. *Welsh Genealogies. One of many collections of Welsh genealogies, this documents the lineage of [[Hywel Dda]], king of Wales, and several of his contemporaries. The [[Pillar of Eliseg]] is frequently discussed in connection with these genealogies. *[[Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies|Anglo-Saxon Genealogies]], a collection of genealogies of the kings of five pre-Viking kingdoms – [[Bernicia]], [[Deira (kingdom)|Deira]], [[kingdom of Kent|Kent]], [[Kingdom of the East Angles|East Anglia]], and [[Mercia]]. A similar collection either derived from or sharing a similar source with this collection is found in the stand-alone [[Anglian collection]] of royal pedigrees, and embedded within annals of the [[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]].
