Henry I., Henry II., and the latter's eldest son, See also:Prince Henry; from Henry II. he received a prebend at See also:Bayeux and other gifts. Except for these facts he is known to us only as the author of two metrical See also:chronicles in the Norman-See also:French See also:language. Of these the earlier in date is the See also:Roman de See also:Brut, completed in 1155, which is said to have been dedicated to Eleanor of See also:Aquitaine (ed. A. J. V. Le Roux de Lincy, 2 vols., See also:Rouen, 1836–1838). This is a See also:free version of the Latin Historia Britonum by See also:Geoffrey of See also:Monmouth, in rhyming octosyllables; it was rendered into See also:English, shortly after 'zoo, by See also:Layamon, a See also:mass-See also:priest of See also:Worcestershire, and is also largely used in the rhymed English See also:chronicle of Robert See also:Mannyng. See also:Wace's second See also:work, the Roman de Rou, written between r'6o and 1174, has a less fabulous See also:character than the Brut, being a chronicle of the Norman See also:dukes from Rollo to Robert Curthose. It has been ably dissected by Gustav Korting (Ober See also:die Quellen See also:des Roman de Rou, See also:Leipzig, 1867), who shows that it is mainly based upon Dude and See also:- WILLIAM

William of Jumieges. There is also See also:reason for thinking that Wace used the Gesta reguin of William of See also:Malmesbury. Where Wace follows no ascertainable source he must be used with caution. Undoubtedly he used oral tradition; but he also seems to have given free See also:play to his See also:imagination.
The Roman de Rou is written in rhyming octosyllables, varied by assonanced alexandrines. It has been edited by F. Pluquet (2 vols. and supplement, Rouen, 1827–1829) and more completely by H. Andresen (2 vols., See also:Heilbronn, 1877–1879). (H. W. C.
