AUDEFROI LE BATARD , See also:

French See also:trouvere, flourished at the end of the 12th See also:century and was See also:born at See also:Arras. Of his See also:life nothing is known. The seigneur de Nesles, to whom some of his songs are addressed, is probably the See also:chatelain of See also:Bruges who joined the crusade of 1200. Audefroi was the author of at least five lyric romances: See also:Argentine, Belle Idoine, Belle Isabeau, Belle Emmelos and Beatrix. These romances follow older chansons in subject, but the smoothness of the See also:verse and beauty of detail hardly compensate for the spontaneity of the shorter See also:form. See A. Jeanroy, See also:Les Origines de la poesie lyrique en See also:France an moyen See also:age' (See also:Paris, 1889).
