Torneyamen
A ''torneyamen'' (; ca, tornejament ; "tournament") or ''certamen'' was a lyric genre of the troubadours of the thirteenth century. Closely related to the ''tenso'', a debate between two poets, and the ''partimen'', a question posed by one poet and another's response, the ''torneyamen'' took place between several poets, originally usually three. The first three-way ''tenso'' was initiated by Raimbaut de Vaqueiras with Ademar de Peiteus and Perdigon. These wider ''tensos'' only became known as ''torneyamens'' later.Chambers, Frank M. (1985), ''An Introduction to Old Provençal Versification'' (Diane Publishing, ), p. 151–152. A ''tenso'' or ''partimen'' that was submitted to another troubadour for adjudication may have a poetic ''jutjamen'' (judgement) attached to it and so may be considered as a ''torneyamen'' between three. The ''torneyamen'', like the related debate forms, was probably especially common at contests, such as floral games and '' puys''. Many such ''tensos'' ...

Ademar De Peiteus
Adémar II de Poitiers, known in Old Occitan as Ademar or Aimeric de Peiteus, was the count of Valentinois and ''de facto'' ruler of Diois from 1188 or 1189 until 1230. He was the son of Count Guillaume and grandson of Count Adémar I. He married Philippa, daughter of Guillaume-Jourdain, the lord of Fay, and Météline de Clérieu.

Uc De La Bacalaria
Uc de la Bacalaria ( fl. 1206) was a Limousin troubadour from La Bachellerie near Uzerche, the home town of Gaucelm Faidit. According to his '' vida'', he was a jongleur who travelled infrequently and was hardly known. He composed ''cansos'', ''tensos'', one ''alba'', and one ''descort''. Six songs are surviving: one ''canso'', one ''alba'', and four ''tensos'' (three ''partimens'' and one ''torneyamen''). According to the ''vida'', he was courtly, capable, and learned. Uc participated in a three-way ''torneyamen'' with Savaric de Malleo and Gaucelm Faidit.Markale, 98–99. Savaric posed the dilemma: if a lady with three suitors gazes into the eyes of one, squeezes the hand of the other, and nudges the foot of the third, to whom did she show the truest affection? Uc's answer is that the suitor whose hand was grasped was her true love, for a lady's gaze can rest on anything. Uc wrote another ''partimen'' with Gaucelm and two others with Bertran de Sant Felitz. Uc also wrote a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Miquel De Castilho
Miquel de Castillon (or Castilho) was a troubadour of Narbonne. A man of high standing in the city, he was called a ''probus homo'' (good man) in 1270 when consulted by the city consuls. He was probably the ''Michael de Castilione'' who was of the knightly class, belonging to family of vassals of the Viscounts of Narbonne. According to a hypothesis of Joseph Anglade, he may have been the same person as the ''Miquel de Gaucelm de Beziers'' who had ties to the troubadours of Béziers and was probably a royal vicar at that city or at the court of Narbonne. Miquel, Codolet, and Guiraut Riquier composed a ''torneyamen A ''torneyamen'' (; ca, tornejament ; "tournament") or ''certamen'' was a lyric genre of the troubadours of the thirteenth century.

Paulet De Marseilla
Paulet de Marselha ( fl. 1262–1268) was a Provençal troubadour from Marseille. Three of his eight surviving works are dedicated to Barral dels Baus, the viscount of Marseille. Three were love songs composed in Marseille during an era of peace. While his patron Barral eventually came to support Charles of Anjou as Count of Provence and followed him into wars in Italy, where he died, Paulet was opposed Angevin dominance of Provence and was deprived of his possessions and forced to flee, becoming a ''faidit'' (dispossessed exile) in Catalonia. In Catalonia he turned up at the court of Peter III of Aragon, then heir and ''infante'' of James I, at Barcelona in April–May 1262. From 1262 to 1266 he was at the court of Alfonso X of Castile. By October 1267 he had returned to Peter and a ''Paulet joglar'' (Paulet the jongleur) appears in the ''infantes entourage, undoubtedly Paulet de Marselha.

Enric De Rodez
Henry II (Occitan: ''Enric II de Rodés'') (c. 1236–1304), of the House of Millau, was the Count of Rodez and Viscount of Carlat from 1274 until his death. He was the son of Hugh IV of Rodez and Isabeau de Roquefeuil. Henry II was a troubadour and patron of troubadours. He composed six poems that survive: four ''tensos'' and two ''partimens'' (alternatively five ''torneyamens''). His short ''vida'' records an exchange of couplets between ''lo coms de Rodes'' (the count of Rhodes) and Uc de Saint Circ. The count claims to have got Uc back on his feet through his generous patronage. Among the other troubadours who were supported at Henry's court were Guiraut Riquier, Folquet de Lunel, Cerverí de Girona, Bertran Carbonel, Raimon de Castelnou and Bernart de Tot-lo-mon. Marriages and children Henry II married three times. His first wife, married in 1256, was Marquise, daughter of Barral des Baux.

Jordan IV Of L'Isle-Jourdain
Jordan IV (died 1288) was the Lord of L'Isle-Jourdain and a vassal of Alfonso of Poitou. He was a crusader during the Italian crusades of Guelph against Ghibelline. His son-in-law was Aimery IV of Narbonne, who led the armies of Florence and Anjou in the Battle of Campaldino in 1289 and his brother was the provost of Toulouse. Sometime before his activities in Italy Jordan (''Jourdan'' in contemporary Occitan) participated in a ''torneyamen'', a poetical tournament, with Guiraut Riquier, Raimon Izarn, and Paulet de Marseilla. In 1266, after drawing up a will, he brought a contingent of knights and crossbowmen to Italy with him in support of Charles of Anjou. He was praised by Pope Clement IV and enfeoffed in the Principate and Calabria by Charles, but he soon returned to Gascony. Charles warned him to return or suffer his fiefs to be confiscated and titles revoked, but he lingered until October 1282, when he returned with a new band of soldiers. In 1285, he joined Philip III o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Perdigon
Perdigon or Perdigo ( fl. 1190–1220Aubrey, p. 18.) was a troubadour from Lespéron in the Gévaudan.Egan, p. 83. Fourteen of his works survive, including three ''cansos'' with melodies.Aubrey, p. 19. He was respected and admired by contemporaries, judging by the widespread inclusion of his work in chansonniers and in citations by other troubadours. Though his biography is made confounding by contradicting statements in his ''vida'' and allusions in his and others' poems, Perdigon's status as a jongleur from youth and an accomplished fiddler is well-attested in contemporary works (by him and others) and manuscript illustrations depicting him with his fiddle. Perdigon travelled widely and was patronised by Dalfi d'Alvernha, the House of Baux, Peter II of Aragon, and Barral of Marseille. His service to the latter provides an early definite date for his career, as Barral died in 1192 and Perdigon composed a ''canso''—which survives with music—for him. According to h ...
