GUTART (or GUIARD), See also:GUILLAUME (d. c. 1316)  , See also:French chronicler and poet, was probably See also:born at See also:Orleans, and served in the French See also:army in See also:Flanders in 1304 . Having been disabled by a See also:wound he began to write, lived at See also:Arras and then in See also:Paris, thus being able to consult the large See also:store of See also:manuscripts in the See also:abbey of St See also:Denis, including the Grandes chroniques de See also:France . Afterwards he appears as a menestrel de bouche . Guiart's poem Branche See also:des royaulx lignages, was written and then rewritten between 1304 and 1307, in See also:honour of the French See also:king See also:Philip IV., and in See also:answer to the aspersions of a Flemish poet . Comprising over 21,000 verses it deals with the See also:history of the French See also:kings from the See also:time of See also:Louis VIII.; but it is only really important for the See also:period after 1296 and for the See also:war in Flanders from 1301 to 1304, of which it gives a graphic See also:account, and for which it is a high authority . It was first published by J . A . See also:Buchon (Paris, 1828), and again in tome xxii. of the Recueil des historiens des Galldes et de la France (Paris, 1865) . See A . See also:Molinier, See also:Les See also:Sources de l'histoire de France, tome iii . (Paris, 1903) .
