Baldric of Dol[1] (c.
His thematics are dominated by two great topics: desire/friendship (amor) and game/poetry (iocus).[7] His constant citations and interpretations reveal a deep knowledge and appreciation of Ovid that was rare for the age. They consist of a wide range of poetic forms ranging from epitaphs, riddles and epistolary poems to longer pieces such as an interpretative defense of Greek mythology and a praise poem for Adela of Normandy that describes something very like the Bayeux Tapestry within its 1,368 lines.

Baldric of Dol was born at Meung-sur-Loire, where he passed his early days.[3] After a course of studies at the school of Angers, he entered the Abbey of Bourgueil in Anjou, where he became abbot in 1079.
The last years of his life were spent in retirement. Balderic's most valuable work from the second part of his career is his "Historiae Hierosolymitanae libri IV", an account of the First Crusade, based in part on the testimony of eyewitnesses, and submitted for correction to the Abbot Peter of Maillezais, who had accompanied the Crusaders.[8] Among his other works are poems on the conquest of England and on the reign of Philip I; lives, in Latin, of his friend Robertus de Arbrissello,[9] of St.
Valerian,[10] and of St. Hugh of Rouen;[11] finally a letter to the monks of Fécamp Abbey which contains some valuable material relating to Breton manners, and to English and Norman monasteries.[12]
