Guilhem de Saint-Leidier

He was said to have loved Belissende, sister of Dalfi d'Alvernha and wife of Eracle III of Polignac, Guilhem's feudal overlord.

Indications in the text and in his vida suggest that he worked in Gascony, Comminges, the Agenais, and the Bordelais.

With one of his poems Guilhem began a poetical debate on the question whether a lady is dishonoured by taking a lover who is richer or more powerful than herself.

The one known poem by the trobairitz Azalais de Porcairagues appears to contribute to this debate, as does one by her friend Raimbaut of Orange, A mon vers dirai chanso.

Soon afterwards there is a partimen on the topic between Dalfi d'Alvernha and Perdigon, and then a tensó between Guiraut de Bornelh and king Alfonso II of Aragon.
