Question

What was priest Layamon's attempt with this compilation?

Layamon’s Brut was the first national epic in English, and priest Layamon was attempting to reinforce English culture and identity jeopardized by French culture because of the Norman invasion.
The search for 'Englishness' was a driving force at that moment, so Layamon wanted to make an investigation on the racial 'melting pot' of the English people.
National identity was at stake at that moment, as Danish and Goth invasions wanted to subordinate English culture. Layamon’s Brut was a call to rebellion, trying to convince people to join the war of resistance.
Priest Layamon wanted to translate the Anglo-Norman Roman de Brut by Wace and Latin Historia Regum Britanniae, by Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Discontent with the relationship between clergy and monarchy, priest Layamon created this character, King Arthur, being a generous King, friendly to clergy but also people.

Ed · Answer

O padre Layamon tentou com a compilação de "Layamon's Brut" reforçar a cultura e identidade inglesa ameaçada pela cultura francesa devido à invasão normanda. Ele queria investigar a mistura racial do povo inglês e a busca pela "inglêsidade" era uma força motriz naquele momento. A identidade nacional estava em jogo, pois as invasões dinamarquesas e góticas queriam subjugar a cultura inglesa. "Layamon's Brut" foi um chamado à rebelião, tentando convencer as pessoas a se juntarem à guerra de resistência. O padre Layamon queria traduzir o "Roman de Brut" anglo-normando de Wace e a "Historia Regum Britanniae" latina de Geoffrey of Monmouth. Descontente com a relação entre o clero e a monarquia, o padre Layamon criou o personagem Rei Arthur, sendo um rei generoso, amigável com o clero, mas também com o povo.
