Jacquemart Giélée (often spelt Gielée) was a French poet of the Middle Ages born in Lille.
Around 1288, he wrote a sequel to the Roman de Renart, Renart le Nouvel, of more than 8000 verse: this moralized poem, with satirical accents, depicts the struggle between Noble, the lion, and Reynard, resulting in the triumph of evil; it is an allegory of the society of the time.
