Béroul

Béroul is a twelfth-century poet of whom only the name is known, which he gives himself twice in his poem. His birth, his death and his station are unknown, and his origin, Norman or Breton, remains disputed. His only known work has come down only through an incomplete manuscript, copied in the thirteenth century and now kept in Paris. It represents the oldest surviving form of the so-called common version of the legend.
