Layamon (Twelfth/Thirteenth Century)
Layamon or Lawemon. The author of a chronicle of Britain entitled ‘Brut’ (c. 1200), modeled upon the ‘Roman de Brut’ of Wace. Nothing is known of the personal history of Layamon, except, as he tells us, that he was the son of Leovenath and a priest at Ernley on the Severn.
