Attached to the name of Lear, the legend assumed pseudo-historical form with Geoffrey of Monmouth in the twelfth century, was handed down through the long line of Latin and English chroniclers, appeared in collections of tales, found a place in Spenser┬┐s "Faerie Queene," and was dramatized by an anonymous playwright about ten years before the date of Shakespeare┬┐s drama.
