Béroul was a Norman or Breton poet of the 12th century. He wrote Tristan, a Norman language version of the legend of Tristan and Iseult of which a certain number of fragments (approximately 3000 verses) have been preserved; it is the earliest representation of the so-called "vulgar" version of the legend (the "courtly" version being represented by fragments from Thomas of Britain's poem). Eilhart von Oberge wrote a treatment of this version in German, and many of Béroul's episodes that do not appear in Thomas reappear in the Prose Tristan. Beroul's poem survives in a single manuscript now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. This copy is poorly written and there is a suggestion that part of the poem was written by a different scribe from the rest. The actual content of the poem also differs from the modern conception of what a narrative poem should be; the plot is disjointed and lacking in a flow of cause and effect, and the characters are poorly defined. Nevertheless, Fedrick proposes that this was common of literature in Beroul's time.[1]

Béroul fue un poeta normando del siglo XII, autor del poema Tristán, una versión en lengua normanda de la leyenda de Tristán e Isolda, de la cual se han conservado cierto número de fragmentos (aproximadamente 3000 versos).[1] Es la representación más temprana de la tan llamada versión "vulgar" de la leyenda. Eilhart von Oberge escribió un tratado en alemán y muchos de los episodios de Béroul que no figuran en la reaparición en prosa de "Tristán" de Tomás de Bretaña.
