Viscount Of Saint Antonin
Raimon Jordan (fl. c. 1178–1195)Boase, 823. was a County of Toulouse, Toulousain troubadour and the viscount of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, Saint-Antonin in the Rouergue near the boundary with Quercy. His poetry was in Old Occitan. There is a ''Vida (Occitan literary form), vida'' of Jordan which exists in several manuscripts, some with an accompanying ''razo''. Like typical ''vidas'', it tell us where he was from and whom he loved. He was from Pena d'Albeges (modern Penne, Tarn, Penne). At some point he had a love affair with Elis (Lucia) de Montfort, wife of Guillem de Gordon (c. 1165) and then Bernart de Casnac (c. 1214). This affair was originally in a ''vida'' of Bertran de Born, but it was cut out and placed in Jordan's own ''vida-razo'' at a later date. Jordan was a contemporary of Bertran and partook with him in the Revolt of 1173–1174 as a partisan of Henry the Young King against Henry II of England, Henry Curtmantle, Duke of Aquitaine and King of England.Poe, 316. ...
