" The earliest extant text of the chanson is a remaniment of the end of the 12th century. The conversion of the poem into prose was not accomplished before the close of the 14th century . None of the prose manuscripts are earlier than the 15th century . Of them the British Museum has three MSS . all in writing of the 15th century . In one a large vellum folio about 1445 A.D. the story is illustrated by nine miniatures ; in the borders of the first appear the arms of John Talbot first Earl of Shrewsbury and those of Henry VI . and his Queen Margaret of Anjou empaled . It is similar to the usual printed edition from the third chapter of that edition to the end . Another manuscript a vellum folio of the 15th century is also a prose version to which is prefixed a fragment of a metrical version of the story the text of which closely resembles that published by Bekker in his Introduction to " Fierbras " ; another metrical fragment is added at the conclusion of the prose tale which contains the adventures of Maugis how he became Pope under the name of Innocent hears Charlemagne's confession and is stifled by the Emperor in a cave near Naples .
