Emma Kirkby, Margaret Philpot, Rogers Covey-Crump // The story of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection, fascinated medieval courtiers, for narcissism was the essence of court life and art. All was self-regarding, luxuriant, elitist. Guillaume's career opened with high affairs and travel when he joined the household of John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, c1323, when he started serving the king as his secretary and became established as a leading poet.
