Giraut de Salignac

Giraut de Salignac

Giraut (or Guiraut) de Salignac (or Salinhac) was a jongleur and troubadour from the Quercy. His castle was Salignac. According to his "vida" he composed "cansos", "sirventes", and "descortz", though only one "canso" and one "descort" survive. His composition were characterised, so his biographer says, by "grace and skill". He may have written under the patronage of Azalais of Toulouse, whom he mentions in his poetry. His name is sometimes erroneously given as Guilhem.
