Note 2 — Early Poems (continued 2)

1833. Lion-souled Plantagenet. For songs supposed to have been composed by Richard I. during the time of his captivity see Sismondi, Littérature du Midi de l’Europe, vol. i., p. 149, and La Tour Ténébreuse (1705), which contains a poem said to have been written by Richard and Blondel in mixed Romance and Provençal, and a love-song in Norman French, which have frequently been reprinted. See, too, Barney’s Hist. of Music, vol. ii., p. 238, and Walpole’s Royal and Noble Authors, sub.-tit. “Richard I.,” and the fourth volume of Reynouard’s Choix des Poésies des Troubadours. All these poems are probably spurious.
