geoffreycaveney's Middle English theory

Since I presented the half line of text in the center ring of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. above, I wish to go ahead now and present my best reading and interpretation of this entire center ring of text on page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , which again features the illustration in the center which You are not allowed to view links.

I identify this as a reference to the Glyndwr (Glendower) Rising of 1400-1415 against Henry IV (Bolingbroke) of England.

As in the center ring of text on the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. "House of York" page, I find that the base language of the text is primarily some form of French. French is far from my strongest language, so I particularly welcome any feedback and commentary about my interpretation of the French portions of such lines of text. 

EVA transliteration:
[ osaiin  chedain  oteey  chedaly  okechs  chepchees  aly  oteodal ]

Currier transliteration:
[ O2AM  SC8AN  OPCC9  SC8AE9  OFCS2  SCBSCC2  AE9  OPCO8AE ]

reading according to my provisional letter correspondences:
" Olo  Yeso  feeK  YesisK  deYl  YepYeel  isK  fecis "

My interpretation of this statement:
"olo oseille [a]vec cassis(e?) del [...] j'appelle quasi fecis"

Modern English translation:
"I smell sorrel with blackcurrants of the [House] I call (as) shit"

I note that the second, fourth, and seventh words of the line are written backwards so that they appear with the same first letter and/or last letter as that of "YORK":
Yeso = backwards oseY = "oseille"
YesisK = backwards KsiseY = "cassis(e?)" 
(I must suppose that the ending of this word as written is some plural or other form of the word that differs from the form of the modern French word.)
isK = backwards Ksi = "quasi"

olo (Latin) - "I smell; I am observed, betrayed"
> oloir, oler, olir (Old/Middle French)
