| Notes | This item consists of several fragments of Robert Copland's translation of "The Knight of the Swan" ("Le Chevalier au Cygne"), published in 1512 by Wynkyn de Worde. The British Library notes the full title as "[The Knyght of the Swanne. Here begynneth the hystory of the noble Helyas knyght of the swanne newly translated out of frensshe into englysshe at thynstygacyon of the puyssaunt & Illustryous Prynce lorde Edwarde Duke of Buckyngham.] [A translation by Robert Copland of the first part of P. Desrey's "La genealogie auecques les gestes & nobles faitz darmes du ... prince Godeffroy de boulion."]" This item is not a ballad, but is archived in EBBA because it is included in the important Bagford collection of ballads. |
