medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture There's at least one brother-sister incestuous love story in John Gower's Confessio Amantis: the tale of Canace and Machaire in Book III. I have no idea whether it influenced the specific play you're asking about, but Gower was still widely read in England during the Renaissance.
