Isnart d'Entrevenas

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Isnart or Iznart d'Entrevenas or d'Antravenas (fl. 1203–1225) was a Provençal troubadour, the son of Raimon d'Agout, a patron of troubadours, and husband of Beatrice, daughter of Jaufre Reforzat de Trets.

Isnart held land in

Charles of Anjou
, but it was probably not the troubadour but his son.

Isnart's work is preserved in two

coblas (in series) attacking Blacatz, sometimes classed as a sirventes
. The second cobla goes:

Si plagues a.n Blacatz,
pos novels es lo sos,
mais valgra sa chanzos
s'i meses puois e praz,
horz e vergers foillaz,
Espaign'et Almaria
e Franz'e Lombardia
e los bous (bautzes or bauç) Bertelai (Bertalai)
e los loncs iornz de mai
e.l dotze mes de l'an
e l'herba Saint Iohan
e la pasqa floria.

"Bertelai" is a reference to the

jongleur
Pelestort sometime before 1237.
