"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.
