Hugues IV de Berzé (or ''Bregi''; 1150/1155 – 1220) was a knight and trouvère from the Mâconnais. He participated in the Fourth Crusade in 1201 and the Fifth Crusade in 1220. He was the lord of Berzé-le-Châtel. Hugues wrote at least five lyric poems that are preserved in various chansonniers. His last one was written to the troubadour Falquet de Romans, asking his friend to participate in the Crusade with him '' outra mar''. Hugues sent his poem with the ''jongleur'' Bernart d'Argentau, forming an important source of information about both poets. According to Hugues, neither he nor Falquet were young at the time.Though the poetic exchange has been dated as early as 1201 or as late as November 1220 – September 1221, the former date is ''too'' early and the latter invalidated by Hugues's death. Recently, dates of 1215, 1216, 1217, and 1219 have been proffered (Riquer). Hugues was dead by August 1220, which provides an '' ante quem'' date for the poem. Hugues is referred t ...
