 In 2017, Miles Russell published the initial results of the Lost Voices of Celtic Britain Project established at Bournemouth University.The main conclusion of the study was that the "Historia Regum Britanniae" appears to contain significant demonstrable archaeological fact, despite being compiled many centuries after the period that it describes.Geoffrey seems to have brought together a disparate mass of source material, including folklore, chronicles, king-lists, dynastic tables, oral tales, and bardic praise poems, some of which was irrevocably garbled or corrupted.
