Chardon de Croisilles or de Reims fl . 1220&ndash 45 was an Old French trouv re and possibly an Occitan troubadour . He was probably from Croisilles , but perhaps Reims . He is associated with the school of trouv res in and around Arras . Chardon wrote four Grand chant chansons d amour , two jeux partis , and one partimen . In two of his chansons Chardon represented Marguerite de Bourbon , the wife from 1232 of Theobald I of Navarre , in acrostic s. Based on this and another internal reference to the castle of Monreal near Pamplona , whereat Theobald was staying in 1237, it is thought that Chardon joined Theobald s Crusade , which left for the Holy Land in 1237. Henry II of Bar , who adjudicated one of Chardon s jeux partis , also went on Crusade with Theobald. All Chardon s French poems use pedes and cauda the chansons are decasyllabic , the jeux partis octosyllabic . His only surviving melodies, for Mar vit raison covoite trop haut and Rose ne lis ne me done talent , are non repetitive. A fifth chanson , no longer ascribed to Chardon, Li departirs de la douce contree , is notable for the simplicity of its melody compared to the floridity of that of Rose ne lis . A poet named Chardo wrote a partimen the Occitan version of a jeu parti with an otherwise unidentified poet named Uc. The rubric La tenzo del chardo e den ugo The tenso of the Chardo and of Lord Hugh appears in the manuscript. While Chardo s half, N Ugo, cauzetz, avans que respondatz , survives, Uc s poem has disappeared. de Hermann Suchier Hermann Suchier was the first scholar to identify Chardo with Chardon, dating the partimen to c .1240, but he has not gone unopposed.

Commodianus was a Christian Latin poet, who flourished about AD 250. The only ancient writers who mention him are Gennadius of Massilia Gennadius , presbyter of Marseilles Massilia end of 5th century , in his De scriptoribus ecclesiasticis , and Pope Gelasius I Pope Gelasius in Decretum Gelasianum De libris recipiendis et non recipiendis , in which his works are classed as Apocryphi , probably on account of certain heterodox statements contained in them. Commodianus is supposed to have been from Roman Africa , partly on the ground of his similarity to Cyprian , partly because the African school was the chief center of Christian Latinity in the third century Syrian origin has also been suggested. ref Joseph Martin, Studien und Beitr ge Erkl rung und Zeitbestimmung Commodians , p. 138 from Texte und Untersuchungen , Band 39 repr. Gorgias Press, 2010. ref As he himself tells us, he was originally a heathen, but was converted to Christianity when advanced in years, and felt called upon to instruct the ignorant in the truth. He was the author of two extant Latin language Latin poem s, Instructiones and Carmen apologeticum first published in 1852 by J. B. Pitra in the Spicilegium Solesmense , from an MS. in the Middlehill collection, now at Cheltenham , supposed to have been brought from the monastery of Bobbio . The Instructiones consist of 80 poems, each of which is an acrostic with the exception of poem 60, where the initial letters are in alphabetical order . The initials of poem 80, read backwards, give Commodianus Mendicus Christi. The Carmen Apologeticum , undoubtedly by Commodianus, although the name of the author as well as the title is absent from the MS., is free from the acrostic restriction. The first part of the Instructiones is addressed to the heathens and Jews, and ridicules the divinities of classical mythology the second contains reflections on Antichrist , the end of the world, the Resurrection , and advice to Christians, penitents and the clergy.

Thomas Usk died March 4, 1388 was appointed the under sheriff of London by Richard II of England Richard II in 1387. Author of The Testament of Love Born in London , he is the author of The Testament of Love, which was once thought to be by Geoffrey Chaucer . Appeal Parliament of England Parliament termed the Merciless Parliament in the work prosecuted him in 1388 and had him executed. The Testament of Love is an allegory allegorical prose work written in prison to seek aid. Walter William Skeat Walter Skeat found that the initial letters of the sections formed an acrostic saying, MARGARET OF VIRTU HAVE MERCI ON TSKNVI. Properly decoded, the last word is THINUSK, or thin e Usk. Usk had been servant to John Northampton when the latter was Lord Mayor of London from 1381 to 1383. Informant In 1384, he was arrested and released in exchange for informing against Northampton, for he had no desire, he said, to be a stinking martyr. This earned him the enmity of the Gloucester party. Execution When they gained power, Usk was sentenced to be drawn, hung, and beheaded, with his head put up over Newgate . John of Malvern gives a description of the execution in his continuation of the Polychronicon, saying that it took thirty blows from the sword to sever Usk s head. Contemporary of Chaucer Usk was a Collector of Customs from 1381 to 1384, when Geoffrey Chaucer was the Comptroller of Customs, and he was familiar with Chaucer. In The Testament of Love, the god of Love praises mine own true servant, the noble philosophical poet in English who had written a poem on Troilus i.e. Chaucer .
