Summers notes that “there are several versions of this romance,” set in 15th century England (cf. James & Smith 554 for an edition by J.M. Rymer).
This copy without a general title; though possibly none was issued, as the last number runs to a full 8 leaves (rather than 4, leaving room to print preliminary matter).
