context_page_description: Willem die Madoc maecte is the traditional designation of the author of Van den vos Reynaerde, a Middle Dutch version of the story of Reynard the Fox.
context_section_description: The name of the author derives from the first line of the poem, where he introduces himself as the same Willem who had previously written a work called Madoc:
  Willem, die Madoc maecte,
  
  Daer hi dicken omme waecte,
  
  Hem vernoyde so haerde
  
  Dat die avonture van Reynaerde
  
  In dietsche onghemaket bleven.
  
  (Willem, who wrote Madoc,
  
  As he often took such care
  
  It troubled him so much
  
  That the adventure of Reynard
  
  Had not been written in Dutch)
