Serlo of Wilton

Serlo of Wilton was a 12th century English poet, a friend of Walter Map [Walter Map, "De Nugis Curialium" 2.4.] and known to Gerald of Wales. [Gerald of Wales, "Speculum Ecclesiae" 2.33.] He studied and taught at the University of Paris. He became a Cluniac and then a Cistercian monk, and in 1171 he became abbot of L'Aumône; he died in 1181. His poems are in Latin.

He is the subject of an 1899 essay by the French author Marcel Schwob, "La légende de Serlon de Wilton".
