    • c. 1180,, Chrétien de Troyes, Perceval ou le conte du Graal:
      La senestre, selonc l'estoire,
      senefie la vainne gloire
      qui vint de fause ypocrisie.
      Et la destre, que senefie ?
      Charité, qui de sa bone oevre
      pas ne se vante, ençois la coevre[.]
      The left, according to history
