Chardri (late 12th–early 13th centuries) was an Anglo-Norman poet, probably from western England.[1] His pen name is probably an anagram of Richard.[2]
Three of his poems, all in rhyming octosyllabic couplets, have survived:
- La vie de seint Josaphaz presents Barlaam and Josaphat, a Christianized version of the life of Buddha, 2954 lines[3]
- La vie des set dormanz records the story of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, 1898 lines[4]
- Le petit plet, 1780 lines[5]
His work is transmitted in manuscripts alongside The Owl and the Nightingale.[6]
