Colart le Boutellier

One of these depicts the known coat-of-arms used by the Boutillier family, one of the petty noble clans of Arras, and assigns it to Colart.

[1] Another manuscript does not show any arms for Colart[2] and it can be surmised that he was in fact a member of one of the middle-class families of the same name that could then be found in Arras.

He may have been a relative of Robert le Boutellier, who judged a jeu parti between Thomas Herier and Gillebert de Berneville.

[3] Je n'ai pas droite was used as the model for an anonymous song, Se j'ai du monde la flour.

His Loiaus amours was a model for another anonymous song, Grant talent ai qu'a chanter, and provided the basis for a contrafactum by the Chastelain de Couci, La douce vois du rossignol salvage.
