Bernart Sicart de Marvejols

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Bernart Sicart de Maruèjols (fl. 1230) was a Languedocian troubadour from Marvejols in Lozère. His lone surviving work, a sirventes entitled Ab greu cossire ("With grave worrying"), is of historical interest for its commentary on the Albigensian Crusade and the lost culture of Languedoc from a native perspective.

The sirventes was set to the metre and melody of another by

French king Louis IX. The poem was dedicated to James I of Aragon
and some later interpreters have placed Bernart at James' court, but there is no documentary evidence to support this.
