The "Historia" was quickly translated into Norman verse by Wace (the "Roman de Brut") in 1155. Wace's version was in turn translated into Middle English verse by Layamon (the "Brut") in the early 13th century. In the second quarter of the 13th century, a version in Latin verse, the "Gesta Regum Britanniae", was produced by William of Rennes. Material from Geoffrey was incorporated into a large variety of Anglo-Norman and Middle English prose compilations of historical material from the 13th century onward.
