@denqua The tunes are, firstly, 'The Black Almain' an English dance (actually an English imitation of a German dance style) from the 1550s followed by 'Quen A Omagen Da Virgen' an anonymous tune from 13th Century Spain .. .. and then back to the Black Almain again.

Glad you enjoyed them.

Did you know that there is a huge group, I think is national that have big gatherings a couple times a year where you get dressed up and camp for a weekend in medieval life. If you want more details I can share.
