- Aimeric de Sarlat
Aimeric de Sarlat (fl. c. 1200) was a
troubadour fromSarlat in thePérigord . According to his "vida" he rose by talent from the rank ofjongleur to troubadour, but composed only one song, though four "cansos" survive under his name.The sole topic with which his surviving work is concerned is
courtly love and he was a worthy imitator of the greatBernart de Ventadorn . A fifth "canso", "Fins e leials e senes tot engan", attributed in thechansonnier s toAimeric de Belenoi , has been assigned to Aimeric de Sarlat by modern scholarship. Partly this is because it is directed toElvira de Subirats , wife ofErmengol VIII of Urgell , to whom Aimeric de Sarlat addressed his "Ja non creirai q'afanz ni cossiriers". An example of Aimeric's poetry:Aimeric was probably patronised byWilliam VIII of Montpellier . One of his works may have inspiredDenis of Portugal to compose a poem in Portuguese.ources
