MORRIS-DANCE, The.
"Both English and foreign glossaries, observes Mr. Douce,
uniformly ascribe the origin of this dance to the Moors,
although the genuine Moorish or Morisco dance was, no doubt,
very different from the European morris. … It has been
supposed that the morris-dance was first brought into England
in the reign of Edward III., and when John of Gaunt returned
from Spain: but it is much more probable that we had it from
our Gallic neighbours, or the Flemings."
