Guillem Augier Novella
Guillem AugierHis surname is variously spelled Ogier or Ozier, and on ''chansonnier'' names him ''Guillem Mogier de Bezers'', making him from Béziers. Novella was a troubadour from Vienne in the Dauphinois who lived most of his adulthood in Lombardy and was active as a minstrel in the early or mid thirteenth century.Graham-Leigh, 30 and n118. According to his late thirteenth-century ''vida'', "he composed good '' descartz'' and ''sirventes'' in the manner of jongleurs, in which he praised some and blamed others." Augier spent his early career at the court of the Emperor Frederick II, and was there associated with such figures as Guilhem Figueira and Aimery de Pégulhan, until 1230. Among Augier's most famous works is his ''sirventes'' (a ''planh'' or lament) now entitled ''A People Grieving for the Death of their Lord'', which commemorates either the murder of Raymond I Trencavel in 1167 or, as is more preferred, of Raymond Roger Trencavel in 1209.Graham-Leigh, 31.Siberry, 160, ...

Raymond Roger Trencavel (also Raimond, oc, Raimon Rogièr; 1185 – 10 November 1209) was a member of the noble Trencavel family. He was viscount of Béziers and Albi (and thus a vassal of the count of Toulouse), and viscount of Carcassonne and the Razès (and thus a vassal of the count of Barcelona, which was also ruling Aragon at this time). Raymond-Roger was the son of Roger II Trencavel (d. 1194), and of Azalais of Toulouse (also known as the "Countess of Burlats"), daughter of Raymond V of Toulouse and sister of Raymond VI. Raymond-Roger was married to Agnes of Montpellier. His aunt, Beatrice of Béziers, was the second wife of Raymond VI of Toulouse.

Gui D'Ussel
Gui d'Ussel, d'Ussèl, or d'Uisel ( fl. 1195–1209Aubrey, 16.) was a troubadour from the Limousin. Twenty of his poems survive: eight ''cansos'', two ''pastorelas'', two ''coblas'', and eight ''tensos'', several with his relatives and including a ''partimen'' with Maria de Ventadorn. Four of his ''cansos'' melodies remain. According to his '' vida'', Gui was the youngest of three sons of a wealthy noble family of the castle Ussel-sur-Sarzonne, northeast of Ventadorn. He and his brothers Ebles and Peire, as well as his cousin Elias, are all reputed troubadours and castellans of Ussel according to the author of the ''vida'', who makes Gui himself a canon of Montferrand and Brioude in the diocese of Clermont.Egan, 44. Among his relatives Gui was known for his ''cansos''. The only confirmation of Gui's family from outside his ''vida'' is a reference to the brothers Guido and Eblo Usseli donating land to the abbey of Bonaigue.

Papal
The pope ( la, papa, from el, πάππας, translit=pappas, 'father'), also known as supreme pontiff ( or ), Roman pontiff () or sovereign pontiff, is the bishop of Rome (or historically the patriarch of Rome), head of the worldwide Catholic Church, and has also served as the head of state or sovereign of the Papal States and later the Vatican City State since the eighth century. From a Catholic viewpoint, the primacy of the bishop of Rome is largely derived from his role as the apostolic successor to Saint Peter, to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus, who gave Peter the Keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing", naming him as the "rock" upon which the Church would be built. The current pope is Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013. While his office is called the papacy, the jurisdiction of the episcopal see is called the Holy See. It is the Holy See that is the sovereign entity by international law headquartered in the distinctively independent Vatican ...
