 "Mum and the Sothsegger" also became heavily intertwined with the fifteenth century poem Richard the Redeless.Indeed, John Bale (1495-1563), an important early antiquarian, wrongly identified the poem Skeat named Richard the Redeless as ""Mum, Soth-segger"".This link between the two poems continued to the early 20th century, with Day and Steele declaring in their EETS edition that "the two fragments form part of one larger composition."
