Peire Rogier (born c. 1145) was a twelfth-century Auvergnat troubadour (floruit, fl. 1160 – 1180) and cathedral canon from Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont. He left his cathedral to become a travelling minstrel before settling down for a time in Narbonne at the court of Ermengard of Narbonne, Viscountess Ermengard. His life and career are known because his late thirteenth-century ''Vida (Occitan literary form), vida'' survives, as well as some of his works. The reliability of his ''vida'', upon which all the details of his goings and comings are known, however, is not complete. According to it, he left the religious life to become a jongleur. He fell in love with his hostess and patron and wrote many songs in her honour, giving Ermengard the nickname ''Tort-n'avetz'' ("You are wrong"), but for what reasons is unknown.Cheyette, 8.

12th-century French Troubadours
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the first and smallest positive integer of the infinite sequence of natural numbers. This fundamental property has led to its unique uses in other fields, ranging from science to sports, where it commonly denotes the first, leading, or top thing in a group. 1 is the unit of counting or measurement, a determiner for singular nouns, and a gender-neutral pronoun. Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral. In mathematics, 1 is the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number. In digital technology, 1 represents the "on" state in binary code, the foundation of computing. Philosophically, 1 symbolizes the ultimate reality or source of existence in various traditions.

Courtly Love
Courtly love ( ; ) was a medieval European literary conception of love that emphasized nobility and chivalry. Medieval literature is filled with examples of knights setting out on adventures and performing various deeds or services for ladies because of their "courtly love". This kind of love was originally a literary fiction created for the entertainment of the nobility, but as time passed, these ideas about love spread to popular culture and attracted a larger literate audience. In the High Middle Ages, a "game of love" developed around these ideas as a set of social practices. "Loving nobly" was considered to be an enriching and improving practice. Courtly love began in the ducal and princely courts of Aquitaine, Provence, Champagne, ducal Burgundy and the Norman Kingdom of Sicily at the end of the eleventh century. In essence, courtly love was an experience between erotic desire and spiritual attainment, "a love at once illicit and morally elevating, passionate and disc ...

They were also known as the ''Boni Homines'' or ''Bonshommes''. Founding The exact date of the foundation of the order is very uncertain. The traditional story involves serious chronological difficulties, and is based on a bull of Pope Gregory VII, Gregory VII, now known to be a forgery. The founder, St. Stephen of Muret (Étienne in French; also called 'of Thiers') was so impressed by the lives of the hermits whom he saw in Calabria that he desired to introduce the same manner of life into his native country. Stephen, being ordained, in 1073 obtained the Pope's permission to establish an order. He is s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
