    The Lady in the song is Epona the Rider Queen, Lady of horses. One of most powerful and important members of the Celtic pantheon. She was so popular that her worship became common among the legions of Rome and even inspired traditions that survive today like putting horse shoes above the entrance to a stable

    A brilliant adaptation of the rousing Stan Rogers favourite. Skeptical until I watched it, but Kate can pull just about anything off. Sad that she is almost unknown in the US.

    Congratulations on your enchanting, atmospheric and sensitive visual interpretation of the song. The heroic and gallant knight and the fair enchantress play their silent parts excellently well - mystical and expressive without being overly histrionic - and all perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the tale. Whatever version of the song one likes best (and over the last 50 years, I've heard many!) this film would go beautifully with any of them. Well done, o parfit gentyl knycht!

    If you're used to the Stan Rogers version just put it in 1.25 speed.

    I learned this song almost 50 years ago as a kid. The version I learned was done by Stan Rogers, which is a rousing melody sung faster with a male voice. I've never heard it done this way before, but there is something I like about it. I also think it is cool that there is a video to go along with it. I was looking for the hound and hawk but I guess it was their day off :) Well done!

    A romantic and moving song, We either have otherworldly guardians or wish we have, If the latter, will such thoughts give us ease in our passing. Aos Sidhe!

    This might be the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard and the video that goes with it seems well made, almost in sync with the music. Going to watch the full video now.

      Stan Rogers' version is better.

    Sorry Kate, but for me this isn't a patch on Stan Roger's version, and Archie's original is great too.

    I came for the brindled hound... where's the dog?
