Bayeux Manuscript, song 89, f.92v

The Bayeux Manuscript is an illustrated manuscript comprising one hundred three songs, collected by Charles III, Duke of Bourbon at the beginning of the 16th century and composed in the late 15th century, that is a few decades after the end of the Hundred Years' War. It is stored at the Bibliothèque nationale de France with designation Fr. 9346.

The Bayeux Manuscript is one of the only two secular monophonic French musical manuscripts from around 1500.[1] The songs are largely of a popular and pastoral nature, unlike the courtly love songs of the previous century.[2]
