A modernized verse paraphrase of the "Troy book" of John Lydgate, which was in turn " ... a very much amplified version ... of the prose Latin `Historia destructionis Troiae' of Guido delle Colonne (about 1287) ... in turn a condensed version of the `Roman de Troie' of Benoît de Sainte More (about 1160)"--Lydgate, J. Lydgate's Troy book.
