valour f (oblique plural valours, nominative singular valour, nominative plural valours)

  1. Late Anglo-Norman spelling of valur
    • Flatour est un soubtil enchanteour;
      Car par son vein enchantement
      Fait croire au dame et au seignour
      Que sur tous autres de valour
      Sont plus digne et plus excellent.
      Flattery is a subtle enchanter,
      For by its vain enchantment
      It makes damsels and lords alike believe
      That above all other valorous people
      Are more worthy and more excellent.
