Uc Brunet

Uc Brunet, Brunec, or Brunenc (English: Hugh, Latin: Ugo; fl.

[1] Outside of his own works and those of other troubadours, including a vida, Uc is mentioned in only one document dated to around 1190.

[1] Uc's career can be extended as late as the c. 1220 by the planh (lament) written on his death by Daude de Pradas, who was only active from about that time.

In his pain Uc Brunet entered the "order of Cartosa" (probably an unidentified charterhouse) and there died.

[2] One of Hugh's datable works is a sirventes, "Conplidas razos novelas e plazens", which mentions the death of los comtes, evidently the count of Rodez, in 1208.

Huc Brunets , as he is called in the manuscript, is depicted as a tonsured cleric and man of letters.
