Le mort
Tantost naurez vaillant ce pic Levesque Le cueur ne me peult esioir |
Le mort
Avance vous gent escuier Lescuier Puis que mort me tient en ses las |
An "escuier" is a shield-carrier (Latin: "scutarius"), The marginals all show him with a hunting falcon in his hand, so we recognize the nobleman right away and deduce that an "escuyer" is a far more fancy title than the modern "esquire".
The same thing is true for Jean Belot (picture to the right).
