Hugh of Rhuddlan (Anglo-Norman: Hue de Rotelande)[1] was an important Cambro-Norman poet writing in the Anglo-Norman language at the end of the 12th century.
His works are Ipomedon[4] and Protheselaus, two long metrical romances from the 1180s of over 10,000 lines, in octosyllables.
The names, at least, were from the mid-century Le Roman de Thèbes; the romances are set in Italy.
The story describes the heroes journeys after hearing that Medea had rejected him as an admirer.
[6] A sixteenth century translation The Life of Ipomydon was made by Robert Copland and printed by Wynkyn de Worde.
