An English chronicler, living at the time of the battle of Evesham (1265). He is remarkable for a metrical chronicle of England, from the time of the fabulous Brutus to his own, based chiefly upon Geoffrey of Monmouth's book. It extends to ten thousand lines, and is one of the earliest epics of the English language. It was printed by Thomas Hearne in 1724.
