Thank you, Gordon, your appreciation is appreciated. I hope the 2nd article in particular can give you some useful tips.

Mr. Red, no one here or in my articles has raised a question over the definition of folk or of medieval, nor mentioned Henry VIII or Elizabeth I. The definition of medieval is straightforward, as it has historical precedent (which anyone interested can read about here.) There are many, many hundreds of songs which predate Henry VIII. Please engage with the articles, if you wish, but I didn't post this so you can set up a parlour game.
