Endnote 2
Prologue, l. 1.  Lowis was at this time (1391) ten years old (see l. 18); he was therefore born in 1381, whence it is possible that his mothcr was the Cecilia de Chaumpaignc who, on May 1, 1380, released the poet from all liability de raptu mea.  This is, of course, a mere conjecture.  Probably Lowis died young, as nothing more is known concerning him.
