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

Thanks, Lynn. Now I see. I can't see a reference on the page to say whether the ballad in question is part of the "Crown Garland" of 1612 or one of "additional ballads" from the earlier edition of 1659.

It's fantastic to have those more historically informed than I make contributions and suggestions as to the meaning of the whole ballad or of individual verses. The Edward III reference is interesting, Greg. It seems either he or IV are good candidates, and it does seem to me that some details in verses must be references the audience were expected to recognise.
