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.
