Abstract
Abstract: Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae is structured around the sequence of British rulers. This structure inevitably means that the text is punctuated by death: an old ruler dies, and another succeeds. The reception of Arthur's death varies across time and manuscript witnesses. This article traces some of the ways that Arthur's death (or his departure) is marked in the manuscript tradition. Both the original design of a manuscript and interventions by later readers can shift how the transition from Arthur's reign is presented and received.
