Life

Perhaps Copland was an assistant William Caxton - at least he worked for Wynkyn de Worde. He has published several books and translated French knights romances. His most famous work " Hye way to the Spyttal house" ( 1536) contains an immense number of curious information about beggars and vagrants.
