Many thanks to Monique Palomares for contributing and translating this song, for the midi and the sheet music.

Merci beaucoup!

This song talks of the situation of the Dauphin Charles VII at his father's death in 1422 when he inherited the kingdom of France - which was reduced to the town of Bourges and some less important ones such as Orléans and Beaugency... the rest of the kingdom being occupied by the English and their allies during The Hundred Years' War.
