He wis the bard mentioned twice in David Lyndsay's Complaynt of the Papingo, an wis mentioned by John Rolland in his prologue tae the Seven Sages forby. Thare wur twa students wi his name at St. Andras Varsity at the same time, giein rise tae maybe aye confusions o identity; in the Buik of Chronicles, Stewart said he wis thare fur 14 year. Althou it haes forordinar bin guessed Stewart wrate baith the owersettin an the court poems, critic Matthew McDiarmid attributed the settin ower tae the ither William Stewart.

Evidence
The sma amoont whilk is kent anent Huchoun is fae the Chronicle o Andrew o Wyntoun, wha says:
Hucheon, þat cunnande was in littratur. He made a gret Gest of Arthure And þe Awntyr of Gawane, Þe Pistil als of Suet Susane. He was curyousse in his stille, Fayr of facunde and subtile, And ay to pleyssance hade delyte, Mad in metyr meit his dyte Litil or noucht neuir þe lesse Wauerande fra þe suythfastnes.(Cotton Manuscript Buik V. II, 4308-4318).

Wha Huchoun wis hissel isnae certain; muckle poems ascribed bi Neilson tae Huchoun are in divers byleids, nane o thaim Scots. Even the poem maist likelie tae be Huchoun's ain wirk, the Pistel of Swete Susan, seems tae be in a nor'-Yorkshire byleid overlayin a Midland Inglis soorce.

Roman, Saxon an Medieval
The great haw is believit tae be on a steid o an earlier Guildhall (ane possible derivation for the wird 'guildhall' is the Anglo-Saxon 'gild', meanin payment, wi a "gild-hall" bein whaur ceetizens wad pey thair taxes). Durin the Roman period, it wis the steid o an amphitheatre, the lairgest in Breetannie, pairtial remains o which are on public display in the basement o the Guildhall Art Gallery an the ootline o whose arena is markit wi a black circle on the pavin o the courtyard in front o the haw. Indeed, the sitin o the Saxon Guildhall here wis probably due tae the amphitheatre's remains Excavations bi MOLAS in 2000 at the entrance tae Guildhall Yard exposed remains o the great 13t-century gatehoose biggit directly ower the soothren entrance tae the Roman amphitheatre, which raises the possibility that enough o the Roman structur survivit tae influence the sitin no anerlie o the gatehoose an Guildhall itsel but an aw o the kirk o St Lawrence Jewry whose strange alignment mey shadae the elliptical form o the amphitheatre beneath. The first documentary reference tae a Lunnon Guildhall is datit 1128 an the current haw's wast crypt mey be pairt o a late-13t century biggin. Legendary Breetish history made the Guildhall's steid the steid o the palace o Brutus o Troy.

It an aw played a pairt in Jack Cade's 1450 rebellion.
The Great Hall did no completely escape damage in 1666; it wis paritially restored - wi a flat ruif - in 1670. The present grand entrance (the east wing o the sooth front), in "Hindoostani Gothic", wis addit in 1788 bi George Dance (an restored in 1910). A mair extensive restoration than that in 1670 wis completit in 1866 bi Ceety o Lunnon airchitect Sir Horace Jones, who addit a new timmer ruif in close keepin wi the oreeginal. This replacement wis destroyed durin The Seicont Great Fire o Lunnon on the nicht o 29/30 December 1940, the result o a Luftwaffe fire-raid.

Banner o Romanie
The naitional banner o Romanie (Drapelul României) is a tricolour wi vertical stripes: beginnin frae the flagpole, blue, yellae an reid. It haes a width-lenth ratio o 2:3.
The Constitution o Romanie provides that “The flag o Romanie is tricolour; the colors are arranged vertically in the follaein order frae the flagpole: blue, yellae, red”. The proportions, shades o colour as well as the banner protocol wur established bi law in 1994 an extendit in 2001.
The banner is coincidentally vera seemilar tae the ceevil Banner o Andorrae an the state Banner o Chad. The similarity wi Chad’s banner, which differs anerlie in haein a daurker shade o blue (indigo rather than cobalt), haes caused internaitional discussion. In 2004 Chad asked the Unitit Naitions tae examine the issue, but then-preses o Romanie Ion Iliescu annoonced nae chynge wad occur tae the banner. The Banner o Moldova is relatit tae the Romanian tricolour, except it haes a 1:2 ratio, a lichter shade o blue an the Moldavian coat o airms in the middle.
Colors
The law mentioned abuin specifies that the stripes o the naitional banner are cobalt blue, chrome yellae an vermilion red. The publication Album des pavillons nationaux et des marques distinctives (2000) suggests the follaein equivalents in the Pantone scale:
History an significance o the colors
Red, yellae an blue wur foond on late 16t century ryal grants o Michael the Brave, as well as shields an banners. Durin the Wallachian uprisin o 1821, thay wur present on the canvas o the revolutionaries’ banner an its fringes; for the first time a meanin wis attributit tae them: “Liberty (sky-blue), Juistice (field yellae), Fraternity (blood red)”.
The tricolour wis first adoptit in Wallachie in 1834, when the reformin domnitor Alexandru II Ghica submittit naval an military colors designs for the approval o Sultan Mahmud II. The latter wis a “flag wi a red, blue an yellae face, an aa haein starns an a bird’s head in the middle”. Suin, the order o colors wis chynged, wi yellae appearin in the center.
In 1848, the banner adoptit for Wallachie bi the revolutionaries that year wis a blue-yellae-red tricolour (wi blue abuin, in line wi the meanin “Liberty, Justice, Fraternity”). Awready on 26 Aprile, accordin tae Gazeta de Transilvania, Romanian students in Paris wur hailin the new govrenment wi a blue, gowd an reid naitional banner, “as a seembol o union atween Moldavians an Muntenians”. Decree no. 1 o 14/26 Juin 1848 o the proveesional govrenment mentioned that “the Naitional Flag will bear three colors: blue, yellae, red”, emblazoned wi the wirds “DPEПTATE ФPЪЦIE” (Dreptate, Frăţie or “Juistice, Fraternity”). It differed frae earlier tricolors in that the blue stripe wis on tap, the princely monogram wis eliminatit frae the corners, as wis the croun atop the eagle at the end o the flagpole, while a motto wis nou present.
Nivertheless, decree no. 252 o 13/25 Julie 1848, issued acause “it haes no been unnerstuid [yet] hou the naitional flags shoud be designed”, defined the banner as three vertical stripes, possibly influenced bi the French model. The shades war “dark blue, light yellow and carmine red”; as for order, “near the wood comes blue, then yellae an then red flutterin”.
Petre Vasiliu-Năsturel observes that frae a heraldic pynt o view, on the French as well as the revolutionary Wallachian banner, the middle stripe represents a heraldic metal (argent an or respectively), thus, the twoa flags coud be relatit. Ither historians believe that the tricolour wis no an imitation o the French banner, instead embodyin an auld Romanian tradeetion. This theory is supportit bi a note frae the revolutionary meenister o foreign affairs tae Emin Pasha: “the colors o the baund that we, the leaders wear, as well as aw oor follaers, are no o modren oreegin. We hae haed oor flags syne an earlier time. When we received the tricolour insignie an baunds we did no follae the spirit o imitation or fashion”. The same meenister assured the extraordinary envoy o the Porte, Suleiman Pasha, that the banner’s three colors haed existit “for a lang time; oor ancestors bore them on their staundart an their flags. So they are no a borraein or an imitation frae the present or a threat for the future”.
Efter the revolution wis quelled, the auld flags wur restored an the revolutionaries punished for haein worn the tricolour.
