- Ademar Jordan
Ademar Jordan (fl. 1198–1212) was a
knight andtroubadour from Saint-Antonin in theRouergue . He was possibly avassal ofRaimon Jordan .Ademar apparently participated in the war against the
Albigensian Crusade , for he was captured by Simon de Montfort on6 May 1212 and is not heard from again. On the occasion of his capture he composed a "sirventes " in imitation ofBertran de Born , "Si tot m'ai estat lonjamenz". His only other extant song is "Pons, viscoms, lezir e sojor", a "cobla esparsa " or "cobla de circonstance".Ademar may also have participated in one of the
Crusades (possibly the Fourth or the "Reconquista "). [Schulze-Busacker, 3 n8.]ources
