William of Blois (poet)
William of Blois (; ) was a French medieval poet and dramatist from the Loire Valley,〔Elliot ''Seven Medieval Latin Comedies'' intro.〕〔 the brother of fellow poet Peter of Blois. While named after Blois, there is no documentary evidence that either brother was born there.〔Cotts ''The Clerical Dilemma'' pp. 19–20 and footnote 7〕 The family's origins may have been in Brittany.〔 The family, which also included sisters, had some nobility if not much wealth, and William was well educated.〔 William moved to the Kingdom of Sicily, arriving shortly after his brother Peter.〔White "Biography of William of Blois" ''English Historical Review'' pp. 488–89〕

William wrote in the 12th century and was the author of at least one work, the ''Flaura et Marcus'', which has not survived. It was written in Latin. He is also credited with two other works, although his authorship is uncertain. These two works are the ''Alda'', which survives in three manuscripts, and the ''Iurgia muscae et pulicis'', surviving in one manuscript. Both of these other works were also written in Latin.〔Sharpe ''Handlist of Latin Writers'' p. 754〕 The ''Alda'' was modeled closely on the style of Matthew of Vendôme, so much so that it is difficult to distinguish the ''Alda'' from Matthew's own works.〔Sedgwick "Textual Criticism" ''Speculum'' p. 290〕 One of the plot lines of the ''Alda'' is the seduction of a woman who is immured by the device of pretending to be a woman.〔Carver "Transformed in Show" ''English Literary Renaissance'' p. 327〕
Some at least of William's works were dramas.〔Holmes and Weedon "Peter of Blois" ''Speculum'' p. 252〕 William's works are part of a group of works known as the "Latin Elegiac comedies", although other names such as "Latin comedies", "Latin fabliaux", or "Latin comic tales" have also been employed. Major themes were guile, deception, lust and sexual scheming and were produced in elegiac verse modeled on that of Ovid.〔Bishop "Influence of Plautus and Latin Elegiac Comedy" ''Chaucer Review'' p. 297 and footnote 17〕
