Peire Guillem de Tolosa

Peire Guillem de Tolosa

Peire Guillem (or Guilhem) de Tolosa was a thirteenth-century troubadour from Toulouse. Only one "sirventes" he wrote ("En Sordel, que us es semblan"), a "tenso" with the contemporary Italian poet Sordello, survives.

According to his "vida" he was a courtly man who loved high society. The author of the "vida" also expresses admiration for his couplets but bewails the excessive number he composed, though so few of his works survive to this day. He was also said to have composed "sirventes joglarescs", or "sirventes" in the manner of joglars, in order to criticise "the barons" (presumably the high noblesse). He also wrote a work criticising the prolific trouvère Theobald I of Navarre.

According to his "vida" he entered the "Order of "Spaza", probably the "Order of the Sword", meaning either the Order of Santiago or the Order of the Faith and Peace.
