Raimon de las Salas

He left behind four or five poems, but he must have composed more, since he is vida records his composition of cansos, albas, and retroensas.

[1] He may have served at the court of Hugh II des Baux, viscount of Marseille, from 1193 to 1240.

[1] Two of Raimon's tensos were composed with women, including Si.m fos graziz mos chanz, eu m'esforcera, which has a modern English translation by Meg Bogin.

[2] Raimon also composed a partimen with an otherwise unknown Bertran, who proposed the dilemma: who are better at making war, feasts, and gifts, the Lombards or Provençals?

[3] Raimon praises his compatriots and puts down Lombard women as big and ugly.
