Synopsis

Re-dates the poem from the 1350s to the 1360s, and questions whether it really addresses the state of public order and the costs of warfare in the 1350s, or rather echoes debates about Edward III's ability to maintain concord between the members of his household, to manage the extravagance that prompted the sumptuary laws of 1363, and to run his peace-time finances to guarantee the solvency of the crown.
