It is widely thought the rhyme represents two boys "Jack" and "Gill". There is no historical record of a girl. When Western Europe split into two sectors, The Holy Roman Empire and France. Wolsey and Tarbes attempted negotiation and peace. When they failed a full-scale war erupted. This rhyme is thought to parody Wolsey's uphill battle for peace and his eventual failure.
But I like Jill better than Gill. :)

Fun puzzle with occasional challenges. Enjoyable solve. I do think it is much larger than it should be.#11: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Nov 20, 2020
