Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Laurence Minot
Edit ProfileCareer
Minot’s poems were evidently written contemporaneously with the events they describe; the first celebrates the English triumph over the Scots at Halidon Hill (1333) and the last the capture of the French fiefdom Guines (1352). Nothing is known of Minot’s life, but he probably accompanied King Edward III on some of his campaigns. The poems are vigorously, if somewhat crudely, written in heavily alliterated rhyming verse.
Laurence Minot died circa 1352.
