• The Excellent Old Ballad of Chevy
  The Excellent Old Ballad of Chevy Chace Broadside Describing the Battle of Otterburn English broadside ca 17th century. Folio approx. 9.5 x 14.25 in. The ballad is recorded in the Stationer's Register (London) an early claim to the rights of printing similar to later copyrights in 1624 although it certainly predates that as folk lore. Subtitled: Describing the woeful Hunting Match on Cheviot Hills with the bloody fight between the Earls Percy and Douglas. While some trace the ballad to the Battle of Otterburn in 1388 others think it describes the Battle of Piperden (Pepperden) between Henry Percy of Northumberland and William Douglas Earl of Angus a more private border feud (i.e. not a national war) fought in 1435 or 1436. It is thought to be a variant of The Hunting of Cheviot which was old in the mid-sixteenth century. There are apparently many ballads that used the same tune although that is not reproduced on this early broadside. ''Back in the day'' everyone knew all the ballad tunes but musical notations as we understand them today did not exist. Notations did exist of course in churches and a few other contexts. European notation was not standarized until about the end of the 17th century and then not read by very many. Condition: Toned old fold with small hole affecting only one letter. Edges somewhat scuffed with bits of paper loss (esp. lower left) not affecting text.
