	Little is known for certain of Bernart's life. One of the two [[vida]]s written about him extrapolates the following about him from his songs: He was said to come from Limousin, the son of a [[servant]]. His ability as a poet however earned him the honour of not only the [[Viscount]] of Ventadorn, but the Viscount's wife as well. Their mutual love was eventually discovered by the Viscount, who removed Bernart and kept his wife under lock and key. Bernart then travelled to the court of [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]], but when Eleanor moved to [[England]], Bernart found a new [[patron]] in [[Raymond V]] of Toulouse. After the count's death Bernart retired to a monastery. Unfortunately this story, romantic as it is, appears to be largely untrue.		Little is known for certain of Bernart's life.
