Richard Thompson - Richard the Lionheart song

Footage of Richard Thompson performing a traditional song, apparantly written by Richard the Lionheart, and sung in French, as part of his '1000 years of popular music' show, The Barbican Centre, London, Tuesday 3 February 2009.

Zoomed in, but sadly you can see a lot of the woman in front of me who annoyingly wasn't there in the first half, when I didn't use the zoom! Reasonable sound quality though.

No prisoner ever tells his story objectively; rather, it is cloaked in sorrow. To comfort himself, however, he may write a song: I have many friends, but their gifts are few. Dishonor will be theirs if I remain in prison these two winters; my ransom unpaid. My men and my barons, from England, Normandy, Poitou, and Gascony, know that I would never forsake even the least of my friends. I do no say this as a reproach. Still... I remain a prisoner.
