Wace (f. 1170).
The Roman de Ron is a valuable metrical record of the deeds of Norman
dukes, prepared for Henry II. Wace is an honest chronicler, and his
clear phrasing shows the typical Norman; the portions of his work
dealing with Hastings are of especial interest to us. There is no good
edition of the Roman. See Gaston Paris, Romania, ix, and Körting,
Ueber die Quellen des Roman de Ron, Leipzig, 1867. For Wace's
Brut-an excellent rimed version of Geoffrey of Monmouth, in which the
Round Table makes its appearance-and his connection with Layamon
and Arthur, see Chapters XI and XII; Fletcher, R. H. , Harvard Studies
and Notes, x, Boston, 1906; Brown, A. O. L. , The Round Table before
Wace, Studies and Notes (Harvard), vir; and also William of Poitiers'
