'''[[Troubadour]]s''': The nature and origins of the troubadour repertoire hold a remarkable place in the history of music. Its origins are remarkable because they seem to have burst forth as an already developed form with no antecedents. Its nature is remarkable because its fortunes are so closely linked to the fortunes of its homeland in the south of [[France]], known as [[Occitania]]. |

The man credited with the genesis of the troubadour tradition is [[Guilem de Peitieu]], 9th Duke of Aquitaine and 7th Count of Poitiers, one of the most powerful feudal lords of his day. He was the inspiration for most later poets who were to follow in the troubadour tradition.<small> ... [[troubadour|[more]]]</small> |
