==Origins==
Regarding the claim that the first troubadours came from Spain: I can find nothing to justify this assertion. The Cantigas de Santa Maria is the only Spanish (read Catalan) troubadour book I know, and that is after the Albigensian crusade.

Unless somebody can offer proof that the troubadour tradition began in Spain (read Catalonia, Aragon, Castile or Leon) I am going to edit out references to Spanish origin.

Conrad,

Do we have any examples of actual troubadour stuff ?

Was it about courtly love, or what ?

Anton

Good questions, and ones I intend to answer when I get around to it
