Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought #onthisday in 1485.
A good example of Tudor propaganda.

A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
and
The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620

Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
Richard de Winter: #baritone
Robin Jeffrey: #lute
Alison KInder: bass #viol

For anyone who feels that they've eaten too much, here is a
Carol for #ChristmasDay at Night: An anonymous 17thC #ballad carol describing many of the foods eaten at Christmas.
From New #Christmas #Carols, 1662.
In common with many #broadsideballads, this carol appear with lyrics but no music. Instead, instructions are given for the choice of melody - in this case, the popular tune, #Greensleeves.

Michael Palmer: #baritone
Eleanor Cramer: bass viol
Robin Jeffrey: #cittern
