This song, Ja Nus Hons Pris, was written by King Richard the Lionheart while he was captive in 1192. He had a minstrel named Blondel who went looking for King Richard. The tune is very complex, so much that I think his minstrel wrote the tune. You can even hear the sadness in the combination of notes.
Tune is also called:
- No Man Who Is Imprisoned
- Song of Captivity
- King Richard's Ballad
Great sense of achievement after spending hours reconstructing a tune, stolen from someone 1000 years ago.
