}}Robert de Beaufeu (died in or before 1219) (Latinised to de Bello Fago or de Bello Foco, meaning "from a beautiful fireplace") was a secular canon of Salisbury and a minor poet.{{efn|Also Robert de Bello Foco {{sfn|Rigg|2004}} }}[1]

Life

Educated at the University of Oxford, he gained, at an early age, a reputation for learning, and became the friend of Gerald of Wales, Walter Map, and other scholars.{{sfn|Thompson|1885|p=36}} He was granted the prebend of Horton, near Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, where he built a hall house, part of which survives in the structure of the present 16th century Horton Court.

Works

He is said have written a work entitled Encomium Topographiæ, after hearing the Topographia Hiberniæ (c.1188) of Gerald of Wales read by the author at a festival at Oxford.{{sfn|Thompson|1885|p=36}}{{efn|His authorship of this piece depends on Gerald of Wales's self-serving story reporting the praise that Robert gave to Gerald's Topographia Hiberniae.{{sfn|Rigg|2004}} }}

A poem in praise of ale, {{Lang|la|Versus de commendatione Cervisiæ}}, in a manuscript in the Cambridge University Library, bears his name,[2] and has been argued as suggesting ("according to stereotypes established by Alcuin, Reginald of Canterbury, and Henry of Avranches") that he was an Englishman.{{sfn|Rigg|2004}}
