Excerpt from Lai d'Havelok le Danois: Treizi???me Si???cle Gaimar dit avoir obtenu le pr???t d'un livre contenant l'histoire des rois bretons [la traduction latine de Geol???roi de Monmouth faite en 1 1 38 environ], de Robert comte de Gloucester, par la faveur et l'intercession de dame Con stance Fitz - Gilbert, et de Walter Espec, baron de Helmeslac [helmsley, dans le comt??? d'york]. Or, comme Robert, comte de Gloucester, mourut en 1 147, et Walter Espec en 1 153 [ritson dit 1 140. Dissertation on Romance and Mim trcky, p. Xl] M. L'abb??? de La Rue en conclut, avec beaucoup de raison, que Gaimar doit ???tre regard??? comme ant???rieur ??? Wace dont l'ouvrage fut achev??? en 1 155. Archoeologzh t. Xu, p. 207. Cela prouvera au moins que Guimet avoit entrepris son po???me historique avant cette ???poque. Se chronique commen???oit originairement ??? l'exp???dition de J ason, comme nous l'apprenons par les derniers vers; mais dans tous les manuscrits qui nous en restent, elle ressemble cons tamment ??? une continuation de Wace, commen???ant seulement ??? l'arriv???e de Certiz ou Cerdic, l'an de J???sus - Christ 495. Le renvoi qui y est fait dans le commencement, ??? une narration pr???c???dente, est certainement un renvoi ??? une premi???re partie de l'ouvrage maintenant perdue car les circonstances qui y sont mentionn???es ne se trouvent ui dans Wace, ui dans Geoffroi de Monmouth.
