 The part of the "Black Lady" was played by a woman of the court.It is not clear if William Dunbar's poem was connected to these events, or that Ellen More played the part of the Black Lady in the tournaments, although the identity of Ellen, or Elen More, is discussed in scholarship as the subject of Dunbar's poem, the woman named in the accounts, and the actor in the tournaments.The expenditure on these lavish events, imitating the "round table of King Arthur of England", was recorded in the Lord High Treasurer's accounts.
