en-wikipedia-org-1711		Wace - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1767	204	72	1110[1] – after 1174[2]), sometimes referred to as Robert Wace,[3] was a Medieval Norman poet, who was born in Jersey and brought up in mainland Normandy (he tells us in the Roman de Rou that he was taken as a child to Caen), ending his career as Canon of Bayeux. In the various versions of the Roman de Rou, his name appears five times as Wace, then Gace (once), Vace, Vacce, Vaicce (three times all together).[4] Until the 11th century, the w spelling corresponded to the pronunciation [w] (like in English) in Northern Normandy (including the Channel Islands), but it shifted to [v] in the 12th century.[5] South to an isogloss corresponding more or less to the Joret line, [w] had been turned to [gw] and later [g] (like in common French).
