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.
