Ja Nus Hons Pris by Richard the Lionheart (c. 1192)- medieval gittern performance by Edward Foster
https://youtu.be/2mfDscXoY8A?si=1-i37DuTrv7M7aJQWhile in prison, Richard wrote the musical piece Ja nus hons pris or Ja nuls om pres ("No man who is imprisoned"), which is addressed to his half-sister Marie. He wrote the song, in French and Occitan versions, to express his feelings of abandonment by his people and his sister.
