Austorc d'Aorlhac

Austorc d'Aorlhac or Aurilhac (fl. 1250) was an Auvergnat troubadour with only one surviving "sirventes". He was from Aurillac.

Austorc's only piece was composed after the defeat in 1250 of the Seventh Crusade under Louis IX of France. Austorc was surprised that God would allow this to happen, but not surprised that Christians would therefore convert to Islam. An excerpt goes like this:
