Details
The song "Hélas madame" is believed to be the work of King Henry VIII. This non-religious composition is part of a compilation located in a manuscript used in the King's court. The authenticity of the song is debated, with claims that several sections have been borrowed from similar European compositions. The song represents a romantic dialogue in Middle French between a man and a woman, where the man pledges to serve the woman he loves for as long as he lives.
