Étienne de Rouen[1] (died c. 1169) was a Norman[2] Benedictine monk of Bec-Hellouin of the twelfth century, and a chronicler and poet. He is known for his Arthurian poem Draco Normannicus (Standard of the Normans), at the same time a chronicle from the eleventh century to 1169; it draws on Dudo of St. Quentin and William of Jumièges.[3] :Poetically it is supposed that he was influenced by the Ilias of Simon Chèvre d'Or.[4]
