Virtually all of the fifteenth-century English carols are anonymous, but a small number are attributed to a medieval Lennon and McCartney, namely Smert and Trouluffe, both Devonshire men. Richard Smert was Rector of Plymtree, near Exeter, between 1435 and 1477.

Pratiquement tous les carols anglais du XVe siècle sont anonymes, mais un petit nombre d’entre eux sont attribués aux Lennon et McCartney médiévaux que furent Smert et Trouluffe, tous deux associés au Devonshire. De 1435 à 1477, Richard Smert fut recteur de Plymtree, près d’Exeter.

Der Ursprung der meisten der englischen Lieder des fünfzehnten Jahrhunderts ist unbekannt. Eine kleine Anzahl von ihnen ist jedoch einem mittelalterlichen Pendant zu Lennon und McCartney zu verdanken, nämlich Smert und Trouluffe, die beide aus dem Raum Devonshire stammen. Richard Smert war zwischen 1435 und 1477 Pfarrer in Plymtree in der Nähe von Exeter.
