Layamon
1200 - 1300
Layamon
Layamon (ook wel Laghamon of Lawman) was een dichter uit het begin van de 13e eeuw. Hij is bekend geworden vanwege zijn Brut (± 1215), een bewerking in het Middelengels van het werk Le Roman de Brut van de Normandische dichter Wace. Dit werk was op zijn beurt weer gebaseerd op de Historia regum Britanniae van Geoffrey van Monmouth. Het werk beschrijft een geschiedenis van Britannia, beginnend bij de val van Troje en de aankomst van Brutus van Brittannië en eindigend met de dood van Cædwalla, koning van Wessex, in 689.
