The epistle of Othea to Hector

Note 15 — INTRODUCTION.

Stephen Scrope translation

In a ballad praying the Duke of Orleans to take him into his service (Roy, i. p. 232) she speaks of his having been three years in England:

Ja trois ans a que pour sa grant prouesse

L’en amena le conte très louable

De Salsbery, qui moru a destrece

Ou mal païs d’Angleterre, ou muable

Y sont la gent.

Elsewhere she says that Henry IV. “tres joyeusement prist mon enfant vers luy et tint chierement et en très bon estat” (Boivin, p. 119).
