Lombarda
Lombarda (born c. 1190) was an early 13th-century trobairitz from Toulouse (floruit, fl. 1217–1262) known only from her ''Vida (Occitan literary form), vida'' and a short ''tenso''. Though her name has been taken to imply that she was from Lombardy, it rather indicates that she was from a banking or merchant family, since "Lombard" was used throughout Western Europe in this sense at the time. Other scholars have suggested, because of her connexion to a lord of House of Armagnac, Armagnac, that she was from Gascony. She wrote in the trobar clus style, one of the few women to do so. Her only surviving work is tied up with her ''vida'' and a ''razo''. According to her ''vida,'' she was noble, beautiful, charming, and learned, skilled at composing songs about ''courtly love, fin'amors''. The adjective "noble" and the honorific ''Na'' (lady) attached to her name imply that she was married and probably in her early twenties at the time of her poetic activity. Sometime before 1217 ...

Bernart Arnaut d'Armagnac (died 1226), also Bernard Arnaud, was a troubadour and from 1217 the Count of Armagnac in opposition to his brother, Gerald V of Armagnac, Gerald V, who inherited it from the childless Gerald IV of Armagnac, Gerald IV.Joseph Vaissète, ''Histoire générale de Languedoc'', vol. 5, p. 598. Bruckner, Shepard, and White, p. 170. Bernart and Gerald were both sons of Bernard de Fézensaguet. Sometime before 1217, Bernart Arnaut had a literary correspondence with the trobairitz Lombarda. The background (''razo'') to this exchange (''tenso'') is described in Lombarda's ''Vida (Occitan literary form), vida''. Bernart, after visiting and befriending Lombarda, left her (probably in Toulouse) without seeing her for a last time. He then sent her his song ''Lombards volgr'eu eser per Na Lombarda''. Lombarda responded with ''Nom volgr' aver per Bernard Na Bernarda''. Their exchange has inspired many feminist readings. Bernart begins by taking the name "Lombards" in honou ...

Trobairitz
The ''trobairitz'' () were Occitania, Occitan female troubadours of the 12th and 13th centuries, active from around 1170 to approximately 1260. ''Trobairitz'' is both singular and plural.

Vida (Occitan Literary Form)
''Vida'' () is the usual term for a brief prose biography, written in Old Occitan, of a troubadour or trobairitz. The word ''vida'' means "life" in Occitano-Romance languages, Occitan languages; they are short prose biographies of the troubadours, and they are found in some chansonniers, along with the works of the author they describe. Vidas are notoriously unreliable: Mouzat, while complaining that some scholars still believe them, says they represent the authors as "ridiculous bohemians, and picaresque heroes"; Alfred Jeanroy calls them "the ancestors of modern novels". Most often, they are not based on independent sources, and their information is deduced from literal readings of the poems details. Most of the ''vidas'' were composed in Italy, many by Uc de Saint Circ. Additionally, some individual poems are accompanied by ''razos'', explanations of the circumstances in which the poem was composed.

Trobar Clus
''Trobar clus'' (), or closed form, was a complex and obscure style of poetry used by troubadours for their more discerning audiences, and it was only truly appreciated by an elite few. It was developed extensively by Marcabru and Arnaut Daniel, but by 1200 its inaccessibility had led to its disappearance. Among the imitators of Marcabru were Alegret and Marcoat, who claimed himself to write ''vers contradizentz'' (contradictory verses), indicative of the incomprehensibility of the ''trobar clus'' style. Below is a sample of the style from Marcoat's '' sirventes'' ''Mentre m'obri eis huisel'', wherein the poet himself remarks on his ''moz clus'' (closed words): :''Mon ''serventes'' no val plus,'' :''que faitz es de bos moz clus'' :''apren lo, Domeing Sarena.''Chambers, 91. Among the late twelfth-century practitionars of ''trobar clus'' was Peire d'Alvernhe, an imitator of Marcabru, while Raimbaut d'Aurenga of the '' trobar ric'' style was influenced by Marcoat.
