Medieval Songs, and nursery rhymes

Gregorian chant, which is a type of plainsong, is central to the musical tradition of Europe in the Medieval era. Chant survived and prospered in monasteries and religious centres throughout the chaotic years of the early middle ages, for these were the places of greatest stability and literacy.

Here is a list of British songs, some of which sing about medieval times, events, or the British empire, some have nothing to do with the Medieval period at all :)- but are topical so included.
