Greensleeves (from green: "vert" and sleeve: "manche") is a famous traditional English medieval love song from the 16th century, dedicated to Lady Greensleeves (a mysterious "lady with green sleeves"). Popular British legend attributes the song to King Henry VIII of England (1491-1547) on the theme of his unrequited love for his second wife and Queen of England Anne Boleyn (1501 or 1507-1536) at the time of the late Middle Ages and early English Renaissance: "Alas, my love, you do me an injustice by spurning me in a quarrel, for so long I have been faithful to you, full of happiness at your side. Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who else but Lady Greensleeves?...". The song became well known during the Elizabethan era of Queen Elizabeth I of England (heir to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn).
This popular ballad probably circulated in manuscript form, i.e. as a "manuscript copy", like most popular music of the period, long before it was finally printed for the first time in 1580 by the Stationers' Company in London, under the title A New Northern Ditty of the Lady Greene Sleeves. No original copy of this printing survives, nor any trace of its actual author-composer. English author William Chatterton Dix adapted this music in 1871 with Christmas carol lyrics, under the title - What Child Is This? - translated into French as - Quel est l'enfant? -
