Gilles le Vinier

Gilles le Vinier (died 1252) was a trouvère from a middle-class family of Arras.

He was the younger brother of fellow trouvère Guillaume le Vinier.

In his song Aler m'estuet la ou je trerai paine he mentions making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

The records of Arras Cathedral note that a requiem was held for Gilles, called Dominus Aegidius (Lord Gilles), on 13 November 1252.

Both Amors ki me le comande and Au partir de la froidure possess "echo rhymes", which is to say that the final syllables of a verse are repeated, with a change in meaning, at the start of the next.
