In medieval England, jugglers and minstrels made livings as traveling performers, but the pieces they performed have been a mystery, thought to be lost or never committed to paper at all. Recently, however, James Wade has argued that a manuscript collection compiled in the fifteenth century by Richard Heege contains three pieces likely copied from a repertoire book belonging to a minstrel working in the area around Heege's home. Wade cites features of the texts indicative of live performance, such as politely addressing the audience, extensive use of simple rhyming (allowing for easy memorization), and requests for tips (payment) from listeners.

The three pieces in question contain references that presume that the audience is familiar with Brackonwet and other small villages near where Heege lived.

Features like simple rhyming also occur in other texts from the period that were widely read but are not known to have been performed for live audiences.

Heege's collection contains the earliest examples of the three pieces in question, but each of those pieces occurs in other manuscript collections compiled after Heege's.

Traveling minstrels are thought to have performed mainly for elite audiences, and other parts of Heege's collection reflect his interest in works with popular appeal.
