Rigord (Rigordus) (c. 1150-c. 1209) was a French chronicler, was probably born near Alais in Languedoc, and became a physician. After becoming a monk he entered the monastery of Argenteuil, and then that of Saint-Denis, and described himself as "regis Francorum chronographus". Rigord wrote the "Gesta Philippi Augusti", dealing with the life of the French king, Philip Augustus, from his coronation in 1179 until 1206. Wikipedia
