#MedievalSky, I have a music question:
The Angel in the Wakefield Second Shepherds' Play is specifically directed to sing "Gloria in excelsis".

In Northern England in the mid-1400s, what setting of the Gloria would they likely be using?

Bonus if it's in triple time ("three breves to a long").

Archaic word of the day:

man-at-arms - a soldier; heavily armed soldier on horseback, especially in medieval times (First recorded in 1325)
