| - | '''Trouvère''' is the Northern [[French language|French]] form of the word [[troubadour]]. It refers to [[poet]]-[[composer]]s who were roughly contemporary with and influenced by the troubadours but who composed their works in the northern [[Languages of France|dialects of France]]. The word ''trouvère'' comes from the Old French ''trovere'', from the [[Provençal]] word ''trobaire'', meaning 'to find or invent (rhetorically)'. The first known ''trouvère'' was [[Chrétien de Troyes]] (''fl''. 1160s-80s) (Butterfield, 1997) and the ''trouvères'' continued to flourish until about 1300. Some 2130 ''trouvère'' poems have survived; of these, at least two-thirds have melodies. | + | |
