About the book
"Master Wace, His Chronicle of the Norman Conquest From the Roman De Rou" by Wace is a verse chronicle written between 1160 and the mid-1170s. This national epic of Normandy traces the history of the Norman Dukes from Rollo through the conquest of England to the Battle of Tinchebray in 1106. Commissioned by Henry II of England, Wace drew from earlier chronicles, oral tradition, and his father's memories to create this sweeping historical narrative—though he abandoned the work before completing it.
