Yes all very interesting.

So can anyone direct me to something about the - Trubadours of France. 1400'ish or less. Surely some of their ballads would be interesting??

I vaguely know that Elanor, who was once married to a Louis of France (Can't remember which one, there were 14 or was it 16 of them!) and became Henry VIII's mother, sang songs. And that the trubadours or travauis, travelled extensivly all over "Gig-ing".
(No Ryanair in those days either).

Henry VII wrote songs too. Some of them rubbish. A few of the Child ballads are from that era and beyond.

Wot Ya Fink ?
