About Laurence Minot

Laurence Minot (1300? – 1352?) was an English poet. Nothing definite is known of him. It has been suggested that he was a cousin of Thomas Minot, Archbishop of Dublin 1363–1375. If this is so, he came from a family from the north of England. He may have been a soldier. Eleven poems are attributed to him, all of which appear uniquely in London: British Library, MS Galba E. ix. In them, he celebrates in northern English and with a somewhat ferocious patriotism the victories of Edward III over the Scots and the French.

Additional quotes by Laurence Minot

Skottes out of Berwik and of Abirdene,
At the Bannok burn war ye to kene,
Thare slogh ye many sakles, als it was sene
And now has king Edward wroken it, I wene,
It es wrokin, I wene, wele wurth the while;
War yit with the Skottes, for thai er ful of gile.

The Scottes with thaire falshede thus went thai obout
For to win Ingland whils Edward was out.
For Cuthbert of Dorem haved thai no dout;
Tharfore at Nevel cros law gan thai lout,
Thare louted thai law and leved allane:
Thus was David the Bruse into the toure tane.
