Meister Rumelant

c. 1273—after 1286 or 1287) was a Middle High German lyric poet.

His origin is uncertain, although in his poems he referred to himself as a "Saxon".

His name ("quit the land") suggests the life of a touring minstrel.

He is also known to have composed songs about the death by murder of the king Erik V of Denmark, also called Glipping, and for praising the new king Eric VI of Denmark; another famous song is Got In Vier Elementen Sich Erscheynet.

Very little is known about his life, he himself being mentioned in a few pages of the 14th century Codex Manesse (414r-415r, where he is indicated as Meister Rumslant) and of the Jenaer Liederbuch.
