Louise Forestier, Canadian singer, recorded "Dans la prison de Londres in 1972."
Several websites indicate that this version is traditional with the Acadians. It seems to be the Acadian version of the 'Nantes' song.

Charles d'Orleans (1391-1465), sometimes called the father of French Lyric poetry, was captured at Agincourt, and held prisoner in London, 1415-1440, after which he returned to France. He was the father of Louis XII.
He is not the prisoner of the song but the comparison has been made. Three of his poems were set to music by Debussy, and others were set to music by other composers..
