Chardry

Chardry is a Anglo-Norman writer of the 13th century.

One owes him a part of one thousand and nine hundred worms, entitled the Small-Fake which describes a discussion between an old man and an young man on the happiness and the vicissitudes of the human life.

He also exerted his talent on subjects of devotion with the Life of Saint Josaphat (2 900 worms), Life of the seven Brothers Door frames (1 800 worms) legend extremely widespread with the the Middle Ages of seven young Christians of Éphèse who, fleeing persecutions of the emperor Dèce, flee, are locked up in a cave where they are immured and fall into a sleep from which Jesus will draw them.

Its works are preserved in three manuscripts at London, Oxford and the the Vatican.
