What little is known of Philippe de Thaon (or Thaün) comes from his own writing. He was an Anglo-Norman poet, possibly from the area around Caen in Normandy, who was active in the early thirteenth century. He says that he had an uncle named Humfrey de Thaun, who was chaplain to Yhun, Yun, or Ydun, and seneschal to the king ("…Unfrai de Thaun, le chapelein Ydun / E seneschal lu rei"). Philippe's first book is called Livre des Creatures, or Liber de Creatures, probably written around 1119.
