Ot de Montcada

Ot de Montcada (Catalan: [ˈɔd də muŋˈkaðə]) was an early Catalan troubadour with no surviving work.

Ot's work is known only from a reference in a sirventes of Guillem of Berguedan around 1175.

Chanson ai comensada que sera loing cantada en est son vieil antic que fetz N'Ot de Moncada ans que peira pausada fos el clochier de Vic.

Here commences a song that will long be sung in the old ancient tune that Sir Ot de Montcada composed before possessed of stones was the bell tower of Vic.

It is possible that Ot was active before 1038, since in that year the cathedral of Vic was consecrated; it was considered aged in the mid-twelfth.
