	§9. Wace. XII. The Arthurian Legend. Vol. 1. From the Beginnings to the Cycles of Romance. The Cambridge History ...
		Wace’s poem was completed in 1155, and, according to Layamon, 51 was dedicated to queen Eleanor, the wife of Henry II—another fact which indicates the interest taken by the Anglo-Norman court in the literary exploitation and the dissemination of British legends.
		Wace was a courtly writer, and in his narrative Arthur appears as the flower of chivalry, the ideal knightly warrior of the Norman imagination.
		53 Wace’s poem, as a whole, thus represents an intermediate stage between the chronicles and the pure romances.

	Wace
		Wace appears to have had no other name, single names being a not-uncommon occurrence in the twelfth century; before the reign of Henry II, surnames were rare though not unknown.
		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.

	Gawain in Wace, Layamon, and the Alliterative Morte Arthure: A Cultural Comparison
		Shichtman contrasts Wace's treatment of the legend with Layamon's, and concludes that "Wace's mode of emplotment offers a powerful legitimation of the ruling-class's deeds and aspirations; this is history written for winners" (1987, 108).
		In Wace the positions seem to be reversed: the older Cador defends warlike epic values while the younger Gawain those of the romance.
		In Wace, the others continue on in the same vein as Arthur, rationalizing their claim to Roman lands, and eagerly anticipating the spoils to be had.

	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.

	Robert Wace Biography
		Wace narrates the founding of Britain, by Brutus, to the end of the legendary British history created by Geoffrey of Monmouth.
		In the midst of the Arthurian section of the text, Wace was the first to mention the legend of King Arthur's Round Table, although he on the whole adds only minor details to Geoffrey's text.
		Wace was born in Jersey and brought up in France, ending his career as Canon of Bayeux; he wrote in Anglo-Norman, a dialect of Old French.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Wace
		Wace was born on the Norman-owned island of Jersey, around 1110 and spelled his name variously as Gace, Gasse or Guace, and never prefixed by the “Robert” supplied by a nineteenth-century critic.
		At some early stage he was taken to Caen and taught Latin, preparatory to entering the Church; he then studied in the Île de France.
		In the Rou Young King Henry is always presented as a living person; as he dies in 1183, Wace’s death must have preceded his.

	History of Norman People: Wace, 1843830078, £19.99/$37.95, 328pp, 2004
		Wace's Roman de Rou relates the origins of Normandy from the time of Rollo (Rou) to the battle of Tinchebray.
		He was also exceptionally good, like other contemporary romance writers, at realistic conversations, such as those between King Harold and his brother Gyrth before the battle of Hastings.
		As a historian, Wace was dedicated to the truth and willing to undertake personal research in order to verify the accuracy of his statements.
