Raimon de Cornet

[1] He appears in contemporary documents with the titles En (sir, also mossen) and Frare (brother, also fray, frai, or frayre).

Both works spend a good deal of space quoting illustrative passages from the greatest troubadours of the past.

Verses, chansos, siruentes, pastorelas, Dansas, descortz, redondels, viandelas, Am bel so gay, melodios, plazen, Balan, trescan o lors obran fazen; E motas vetz, per fugir ad enueg, Per los jorns loncz, o can fa longa nueg, Legen dictatz, gestas o bels romans.

verses, chansos, sirventes, pastorelas, dansas, descortz, redondels, viandelas, with pretty tunes, gay, melodious, and pleasurable, as they dance and leap around or do their work; and, frequently, to raise their spirits on long days, or when the nights are long, they read verses, tales or romances.

[2] Raimon strongly supported the Crusaders and bitterly opposed the clergy, Avignon Papacy, and eventually Philip VI of France.

Raimon suggests that the king should impose a tax on those men who do not join the Crusade, and in any case those who remain in France should pray two or three times daily for those who do go to the Holy Land.
