Taillefer (died 1066)
| Norman jongleur (wandering minstrel). He was killed fighting for William the Conqueror at the battle of Hastings. Robert Wace, in the Roman de Rou (1160–62), claims that he led the Norman troops, inspiring them with his songs of Roland, of Charlemagne, and of the heroes of Roncesvalles. |
