Raimon de Miraval

"[1] Favoured by Raymond VI of Toulouse, he was also later associated with Peter II of Aragon and Alfonso VIII of Castile.

[1] That Raimon owned only a quarter of his family's ancestral castle is an indication either of partible inheritance or clan structure.

At some point he separated from his wife, Gaudairença (or Caudairenga), herself the author of the (now lost) song Coblas e dansas, for uncourtly behaviour.

Raimon addressed many works to one named "Pastoret", but the identification of this person has been problematic, though he is usually identified as Raymond Roger Trencavel.

[1][6] Raimon was admired by contemporaries and by most poets of later generations and he is famous for his handling of the subject of courtly love.
