2. Medieval songs from medieval times (…and some adaptations)
This section contains all sorts of medieval songs that have survived to our day. It does not contain
modern songs that have a medieval feel to them – that is another chapter. I have also included covers /
different versions.

3. Modern songs that have a medieval feel to them
Like in chapter 1, this is pretty much what is says. This section contains songs that borrow from medieval
styles, either lyrics or tunes or whatever else may be there, but the songs themselves may not have been
like this (or not at all) in medieval times.
