Lo Bord del rei d'Arago

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Lo Bord del rei d'Arago (Occitan:

Rostanh Berenguier de Marselha, who also wrote a fourth peticion of his own to Lo bord, but without a surviving response. This poem without a response, Pos de sa mar man cavalier del Temple, contains internal clues permitting it to be dated to between 1291 and 1310.[2] All these coblas were edited and published by Paul Meyer in Les derniers troubadours de la Provence (Paris, 1871).[2]

The dates, the connexion through his interlocutor with Marseille, and the abundance of illegitimate issue with which he could be identified suggest that Lo bord was a son of

Sogorb Jaume Pere, and John. Anyone of these illegitimate children may have been the bastard-troubadour, but a definitive identification will likely always be elusive.[2]

The poetry of the anonymous royal bastard and Rostanh Berenguier is "insignificant and banal" in the

Goliardic tradition. It was copied anonymously into the Catalan-language Cançoner de Saragossa in the fifteenth century.[2]
