    1. The Task and Role of the Historian -- William of Malmesbury -- Orderic Vitalis -- Geoffrey of Monmouth -- Gaimar -- Wace -- Benoit de Sainte-Maure -- 2. Modes of Characterization: Images of the Kings -- William of Malmesbury -- Orderic Vitalis -- Geoffrey of Monmouth -- Gaimar -- Wace -- Benoit de Sainte-Maure -- 3. Patronage and Social Function: Users and Uses of History -- William of Malmesbury -- Orderic Vitalis -- Geoffrey of Monmouth -- Gaimar -- Wace -- Benoit de Sainte-Maure -- Conclusion. The Twelfth Century witnessed the sudden appearance and virtual disappearance of an important literary genre - the Old French verse chronicle. These poetic histories of the British kings, which today are treated as fiction, were written contemporaneously with Latin prose narratives, which are regarded as historical accounts. In this pathfinding study, however, Jean Blacker asserts that twelfth-century authors and readers viewed both genres as factual history This exploration reveals remarkable similarity among the texts, including their idealization of historical and even legendary figures, such as King Arthur. It opens fruitful lines of inquiry into the role these writers played in the creation of the Anglo-Norman regnum and suggests that the Old French verse chronicles filled political, psychic, and aesthetic needs unaddressed by Latin historical writing of the period
