{{Underlinked|date=February 2019}}Thomas de Kent or Thomas of Kent was a twelfth-century Anglo-Norman writer who wrote the Alexander romance Roman de toute chevalerie. It derives from the Zacher Epitome of Julius Valerius Alexander Polemius,^[1] but differs in certain respects. For example it maps conquests by cardinal direction. This allows him to explain certain wonders in terms of a climate theory. Hercules is also invoked in comparison and the "exoticism" of the Orient is said to be rendered more excessively alluring and luxurious.^[2]
