Question/AHC: Knightly Music

I've been doing a little youtube browsing, listening to some Gregorian Chants and the like. I also found this song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogurodzica on wikipedia (there are a few versions on youtube) that apparently Polish Knights used to sing as they went into battle - all awesome stuff :)

I was wondering if you guys knew any other songs that soldiers in the Middle Ages (although suggestions from other time periods welcome) would sing as they went into battle? What songs could have been easily adapted for the purpose in an ATL? Lastly, what song would you sing going into battle?

And yes this is partially inspired by Zulu :p :D
 
There are hours and hours of medieval music on youtube, but how much of it was going to be sung by knights, not sure.

The Polish classic battle athem is Bogurodica, which dates from the very early modern era.

Yeh, I like that one too :)

Cantigas de Santa Maria perhaps?

I looked them up, apparently they're a whole series of pieces. Do you have any favourites?
