Cerverí De Girona
Cerverí de Girona (; fl. 1259 – 1285) was a Catalan troubadour born Guillem de Cervera in Girona. He was the most prolific troubadour, leaving behind some 114 lyric poems among other works, including an ''ensenhamen'' of proverbs for his son, totaling about 130. He was a court poet to James the Conqueror and Peter the Great. He wrote ''pastorelas'' and ''sirventes'' and his overriding concern was the complexities of court life. None of his music survives. Cerverí spent some time under the patronage and at the court of Hugh IV and Henry II of Rodez. He was in Spain in 1269, for he is found that year in the entourage of the then-''infante'' Peter the Great. With fellow troubadours Folquet de Lunel and Dalfinet he accompanied Peter to Toledo. On 26 April at Riello, near Cuenca, he received one ''solidus'' for his services.

Folquet De Lunel
Folquet de Lunel (1244 – c. 1300) was a troubadour from Lunel (in the modern Hérault) in the Languedoc. He left behind nine recorded lyric poems, including five ''cansos'', two ''partimens'', and two ''sirventes''. He also wrote one longer work, the ''Romans de mondana vida''. Folquet's birth date can be known precisely because he tells us in his ''Romans'', written in 1284, that he was forty years old at the time. Folquet's earliest datable work is a ''partimen'' with Guiraut Riquier, dated to between 1264 and 1270. He presents Guiraut with a tricky question: :''Guirautz, don'ab beutat granda'' :''tota sol'aiatz'' :''en un lieg, e selh que.l platz'' :''jatz n'en autre, ses demanda'' :''que l'us a l'autre no fai,'' :''et amo.s de cor verai:'' :''si.l cavaliers se lev'a lieys jazer'' :''o ilh ab lui, cal li deu mais plazer?'' Folquet, along with fellow troubadours Dalfinet and Cerverí de Girona, was in Spain in 1269 in the entourage of ''infante'' Peter. They accompanied Pe ...
