Aldric or Audric del Vilar
[Variants of his name include Anric, Enric, Oldric, Alric, Audrics, Andrics, Audricx, and Ardis. "Nandricx" is a contraction of "En Audric" (N'Andricx): see Gaunt, Harvey, et al., 534, n1.] was the twelfth-century lord of
Auvillar
Auvillar (; oc, Autvilar) is a commune in the department of Tarn-et-Garonne and the Occitanie region, situated at the edge of the Lomagne region on the banks of the Garonne river. Since 1994, Auvillar has been voted one of the "most beautiful vil ...
and a
troubadour. According to the ''
vida'' of
Marcabru, he raised the young Marcabru. This may in fact be derived by Marcabru's biographer from an exchange of satiric songs between the two, beginning with Audric's "Tot a estru" (16b.1), to which Marcabru responded with "Seigner n'Audric" (293.43). Audric may have been originally writing in response to Marcabru's ''
gap'' "D'aisso lau Dieu". The whole exchange revolves around Marcabru's claim that he will accept bread from a fool so long as it lasts. On the other hand, both of Marcabru's pieces, which share Audric's metrical form, may be responses to Audric. Audric introduced the nickname ''Pan-Perdut'' (Breadless) for Marcabru.
