Excerpt from The Poems of Laurence Minot Edited With Introduction and Notes
Of the writer, nothing is known beyond his name, which he has given us in v. I and vii. 20. N 0 further information can be gleaned from his poems about himself. He probably mentions a friend of his in v. 591. Three of his poems are connected with Yorkshire; the expedition of Edward Baliol was Organized there, and best chronicled by siome monk connected with Meaux and Bridlington; in the Battle of Neville's Cross he gives a special mention to the Archbishop of York, and in the last ballad he celebrates the exploit of a Yorkshire man.
