With its haunting melody, and the romantic myth that it was written by as a love song for , Greensleeves has remained popular over the centuries and today, is probably the best known of all .

However there is no proven connection to Henry VIII, and the earliest mention of the broadside ballad called was not until September 1580, (some 33 years after his death). It was an immediate hit, and a number of imitations and parodies were produced in the following months and years.

Our recording uses the text from 'A Handful of Pleasant Delights', 1584 - the earliest surviving source. There are many verses, some of which contain lovely descriptions of clothing and other aspects of

YouTube - Richard III ballads

Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought in 1485.
A good example of Tudor propaganda.

A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
and
The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620

Maybe I should get a Big Wheel / Walking wheel, to get my exercise in while making yarn at the same time? In the part, starting at around 38 min into the video, she tells, that a experienced did about 30 miles a day using that wheel in the era

Interesting to see the whole process from wool still on the sheep to the finished cloth how it was done 500 years ago.

tonight: ep 1 of Fortress Britain with Alice Roberts (aired 25/3/21, channel4.com/programmes/fortre ).

Looking at British (English?) history through the lens of fear of invasion, starting with Henry VIII. This episode looking at the fallout of the break with Rome in terms of feeling like the Catholic bits of Europe (like France) now wanted to invade. So pop-up castles all around the coast, and a beefing up of the navy & its guns.
