Aimeric de Belenoi
[1] Aimeric was born in the castle of Lesparra in the Bordelais (metropolis civitas Burdigalensium, the modern Gironde).
[2] His biographer records that he lingered in Gascony a long time "for her" before moving on to Catalonia, where he died.
[1] His last datable work was Nulhs hom en res no falh, a planh for Nuño Sánchez, who died in 1242.
[1] This planh was addressed to the comtessa Beatris, wife of Raymond Berengar IV of Provence, and senher N'Imo, her brother Aimone, son of Thomas I of Savoy.
[2] She criticised his work as "banal", but it enjoyed widespread popularity in the High Middle Ages, especially in Italy, and it is varied in its intertwining themes moral, religious, and amorous.
"Sir Aimeric de Belenoi was from the Bordelais, from a castle called Lesparre. . ."
In his picture he is portrayed tonsured, as a monk.
