	Wace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wace's reference to oral tradition within his own family suggests that his account of the preparations for the Conquest and of the Battle of Hastings are reliant not only on documentary evidence but also on eyewitness testimony from close relations.
		The Anglo-Norman language Wace wrote in is variously regarded as a dialect of the Norman language, a dialect of Old French, or specifically the precursor of Jèrriais.
		Wace's descriptions of militarily strategic points on the coast of Normandy were used in the early planning stages of the Battle of Normandy.

	Wace - Wikipedia
		Wace stammte von der Kanalinsel Jersey, die damals zum Herzogtum Normandie gehörte.
		Geoffrey hatte seine Historia dem Statthalter in Caen, Robert of Gloucester, einem unehelichen Sohn Heinrichs I. von England, gewidmet.
		Waces Reimchronik ist unter dem Namen Roman de Brut (oder kurz Brut) bekannt, sie umfaßt 15.000 achtsilbige Verse und ist in rund 32 vollständigen oder fragmentarischen Handschriftenexemplaren überliefert - das ist eine recht hohe Zahl und spricht für einen großen Erfolg.

	Maistre Wace
		Wace's ancestry may or may not have been humble: some sources think he was of "noble race," his mother the daughter of Toustein, chamberlain to Robert I of Normandy.
		Wace, it may be supposed, was a clerc lisant who became a maistre lisant, the Maistre Wace who names himself fifteen times in his writings, proudly using the designation "maistre" ten times to indicate that he was a professional man, proud of his occupation and of his standing within it.
		Wace, who was born in the Island but spent much of his life in Normandy, wrote the 17,000-line Roman de Rou for King Henry II of England in the 12th century, but it was not until four years ago that an English version of the work began to take shape.

		This is a free version of the Latin Historia Britonum by Geoffrey of Monmouth, in rhyming octosyllables; it was rendered into English, shortly after 1200, by Layamon, a mass-priest of Worcestershire, and is also largely used in the rhymed English chronicle of Robert Mannyng.

		The Rou was commissioned by Henry II of England, who sometime before 1169 secured for Wace a canonry at Bayeux in northwestern France.
		The Rou, written in octosyllabic couplets and monorhyme stanzas of alexandrines, is a history of the Norman dukes from the time of Rollo the Viking (after 911) to that of Robert II Curthose (1106).
		Wace's conscious literary artistry in the Brut exerted a stylistic influence on later verse romances (notably on a version of the Tristan story by Thomas, the Anglo-Norman writer), whereas the English poem Brut (c.

		Wace, moreover, was Norman born and Norman bred, and he inherited the possessions of his race--a love of fact, the power of clear thought, the appreciation of simplicity, the command of elegance in form.
		Wace, the professional author, the scrupulous antiquarian and naive poet, carefully refined the material of Geoffrey, and dressed it in the French costume of courtly life.
		Layamon, however, expands the few lines that Wace devotes to the subject into one of his longest additions to his source, by introducing the story of a savage fight for precedence at a court feast, which was the immediate cause for fashioning the Round Table, a magical object.

		Robert of Gloucester, who wrote a narrative of Briti sh history, from the landing of Brute to the close of the reign of Henry III.
		No date is a ssigned to the coming of Brute, but he was the son of Silvius Æneas (the third generation from Æneas who escaped from Troy, B.C. 1183), so that the date may be assumed to be B.C. 1028, thus giving a scope of 2300 years to the chronicle.
		The first ends with the death of Cadwallader, and the second with the death of Edward I. The earlier parts are similar to the Anglo-Norman chronicle of Wace.

		The first person to mention it was Robert Wace, a Jersey born author who wrote Brut, a history of Britian, in Norman French in 1155.
		Wace's original text was mistranslated into Anglo Saxon by a monk who rendered it as 'First Arthur had a board made (by cunning carpenters in Cornwall).' Later writers developed this into a round wooden table, forgetting that the Celts of Wales, Ireland and Scotland did not use tables.
		Wace further added that "all were seated within the circle and no one was placed outside", and that hardly refers to a circular table but rather a circular building.

		Written by Wace as a legend celebrating the Britons resistance to the Anglo-Saxons, Brut is a poem celebrating resistance against the Norman conquest and the cultural hegemony imposed by the invaders from France.
		Laymon adapted his Brut mostly from the French octosyllabic couplets of Robert Wace, who previously adapted the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain (Burrow and Turville-Petre 96).
		Laymon's transformation of Arthur from Wace's romantic Norman hero to an English national hero, and symbol of English resistance to any invaders of the Isles, can be seen in his hardening of the character.

		Robert’s importance in the development of the legend consists in the fact that his is the first complete biography of Arthur that puts the Grail at the center of the story; moreover, his romances were ultimately the sources for the Vulgate Cycle and the
		Perceval, or The Story of the Grail; Chrétien’s story itself is reinterpreted by Robert, who has now decided that the Grail is the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper, and by Joseph of Arimathea to collect the blood of Christ immediately after the Crucifixion.
		Robert preserves the legend of Arthur’s survival, first hinted at in the Welsh Stanzas of the Graves, and then again in Wace.
