In the twelfth century, ballads were a popular form of narrative poetry, often recounting tales of love, adventure, or historical events. The term "Ballad" can refer to a specific type of song or poem that tells a story, and during this time, it became associated with three main types of literature: folk ballads, literary ballads, and broadside ballads. Each type served different purposes and audiences, contributing to the rich tapestry of medieval literature. These ballads played a significant role in oral tradition and paved the way for future poetic forms.
