These are, in chronological order:-1. BL Additional MS 45131, folio 10v, from the collection of Thomas Wriothesley, to be called here W. 2. College of Arms MS I.3, folio 4, a later sixteenth century copy made by Thomas Hawley, to be called here H. 3. The text as given in the 1619 version of George Buck's History of the Life and Reigne of Richard the Third, which remained unpublished until Kincaid's edition of 1979, to be called B1 in this study. 2 4. The version in the posthumous publication of Buck's work in 1647, which differs slightly from the 1619 text, to be called here B2. 5. The version given by Francis Sandford, in his Genealogical History of the Kings of England, 1677, which he says he took from a manuscript at the College of Arms, presumably our H. Sandford's version is here called S. It is clear that these five texts fall into two groups, with Buck's versions, which he states that he copied from a book at the London Guildhall, standing apart in several respects from the two manuscripts and Sandford.

The existence of hexameter poetry listing the women thus favouredthe famous women in the underworld in the eleventh book of the Odyssey, and above all the Eoiaiis evidence of an interest in the women involved, not only in their heroic sons, and suggests that already at an early date the theme was the object not merely of passive reception but of an active consciousness. The Eoiai, indeed, saw such unions as an integral part of an earlier and better age, when mortals and immortals were closer: ξυναὶ γὰρ τότε δαῖτες ἔσαν, ξυνοὶ δὲ θόωκοι ἀθανάτων τε θεῶν καταθνητοῖς τ' ἀνθρώπων (fr. 1 Μ-W)
