Arthurian Chronicles: Roman de Brut by Wace
"Arthurian Chronicles: Roman de Brut" by Wace is a Norman-French verse chronicle completed in 1155. This nearly 15,000-line poem retells Britain's legendary history from its founding by Trojan refugee Brutus through a thousand years of myth and pseudohistory. The work traces the island's story through King Leir, the Roman conquest, and the coming of Christianity, culminating in the tales of sub-Roman Britain. Most notably, it presents the first vernacular account of King
Arthur's life, introducing the Round Table to world literature and launching an entire tradition of French Arthurian romance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
