The poem itself is unfinished, and also adapts parts of the Roman de Brut by Wace. Considered Stephen's principle work it survives in the Vatican Library. In the manuscript the poem runs to nearly 4,400 lines, though it has lost at least two passages, estimated at around one hundred verses each. The manuscript was initially anonymous, however it has been accepted for over one hundred years that Stephen is the undisputed author.The conventional modern form of the title, Draco Normannicus, was chosen by Richard Howlett in his edition published in 1885. In the manuscript it occurs only in a different word order, as Normannicus Draco. Howlett also translated the title as "the Norman Standard", rather than literally as "Norman Dragon", as the Draco is named for the dragon shaped banners which the Normans followed into battle. It is a chronicle of the Normans' history, from their arrival in the former kingdom of Neustria, and the founding of Normandy up to the events which occurred during Stephen's life. There is an emphasis on the territorial conflicts which occurred between Henry II and Louis VII."@en }
