As the liner notes state to this recording of courtly 15th century Franco-Burgundian songs, performed by Christopher Page's Gothic Voices:

"This recording presents some of the music which could be heard in some royal and noble households during the fifteenth century. Most of the composers represented enjoyed the highest patronage available to a fifteenth-century musician. The Englishman Robert Morton, whose rondeau Le souvenir de vous me tue is one of the most beguiling medieval songs, was a chaplain in the employ of Philip the Good and Charles the Bold, Dukes of Burgundy. (Charles was an accomplished composer in his own right, to judge by Ma dame, trop vous mesprenés). Gilles de Binche, called Binchois, was also one of Philip’s chaplains, and the outstanding composer of the period, Guillaume Dufay, may also have had some connection with the Burgundian court; otherwise his patrons included the Malatesta family at Pesaro and later Duke Amadeus VIII of Savoy."
