Can some wiki-savvy user change the title of this entry, to be simply 'Wace'. The 'Robert' is entirely ahistorical, and can be tracked back to the Abbe de la Rue and other antiquaries; nobody working on Anglo-Norman literature considers 'Robert' to be Wace's forename. Lutefish 20:43, 15 June 2004

The name Wace is Norman and must be pronounced /vas/, because the pronounciation of /w/ changed into /v/ in the 12th century in Normandy, but not in Picardy for exemple. The surname Vasse is still common in Normandy nowodays. The corresponding prononciation in south Norman and Parisian French is /gas/ or /gēs/ . Nortmannus ( talk) 01:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Why is Wace described as an Anglo-Norman poet, and put in the Anglo-Norman category? Jersey was an integrated part of Normandy at the time and there is no evidence to suggest that he ever left the confines of the Duchy of Normandy at all, let alone ever visited England.

I agree with you, Wace is a Norman poet! C. Cottereau. Nortmannus ( talk) 01:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
