I thought no one knew who wrote Greensleeves?

It's speculation. My point was that I know 2 songs that are 500 years old, one is secular, one is spiritual. Seems like music was "accepted" back then.

But the notion that Henry wrote Greensleeves is fairly widespread. From wikipedia:

"Greensleeves" is a traditional English folk song and tune, basically a round of the form called a romanesca.

A widely-believed (but completely unproven) legend is that it was composed by King Henry VIII of England (1491-1547) for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn.

There is debate but it's generally believed Henry VIII wrote it for Anne B.

As for this new Roslyn music, I wouldn't know. But I did enjoy listening to it.
