Lynn W Origins: Who was King Edward of 17th century? (61* d) RE: Origins: Who was King Edward of 17th century? 09 Dec 10

There was a 1659 printing of this ballad, according to a Percy society reprint of 1840 which is available in full on the internet archive - Early English poetry, ballads, and popular literature of the Middle Ages ; (1840)

It's in the section "The Crown Garland of Golden Roses, Part II".
As this date was even before the restoration, it's unlikely the ballad was referring to James II.
