Warner of Rouen

[1] Warner's two poems are both found in a single 12th-century manuscript, now Paris, BnF lat.

They were both composed during the reign of Robert's brother, Richard II, Duke of Normandy (996–1026).

[1][2] The slander is said to have been uttered in Saint-Ouen, suggesting that the master may be the abbot, either Hildebert (died 1006) or Henry (after 1006).

[1] The poem tells how the grammarian Moriuht left Ireland in search of his abducted wife Glicerium.

Warner includes an example and critiques it, citing Statius, Virgil, Horace and Bede.
