Wace, The Hagiographical Works
Best known for his two chronicles, the Roman de Brut and the Roman de Rou, Wace, one of the great pioneers of twelfth-century French writing, is also the author of three hagiographical works: the Conception Nostre Dame and the Lives of St Margaret and St Nicholas.

Emphasising Margaret's concern for women in labour, the Margaret seemingly contributed to the saint's broad popularity.
