ROBERT, or ROBERT DE BRUNNE (_fl._ 1288-1338).-Was a Canon of the Gilbertine Order. His work, _Handlynge Sinne_ (_c._ 1300), translated with original additions from the _Manuel des Peches_, a book written in French verse by William of Waddington, is practically a collection of tales and short stories on the Commandments, Seven Deadly Sins, Sacraments, etc., and is of value as giving a contemporary picture of the time. He also made (_c._ 1335) a translation in verse of the French _Chronicle_ of Peter Langtoft, the second and more interesting part of which covers the period from the death of Cadwallader to the end of the reign of Edward I.
