See also:BETHUNE, See also:CONON or QUESNES, DE (c. 1150-1224), See also:French See also:trouvere of See also:Arras, was See also:born about the See also:middle of the 12th See also:century. He came about 1x8o to the See also:court of See also:France, where he met See also:Marie de France, countess of See also:Champagne. To this princess his love poems are dedicated, and much of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time was passed at her court where the trouveres were held in high See also:honour. At the French court he met with some criticisms from See also:Queen Alix, the widow of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis VII., on the roughness of his See also:verse and on his See also:Picard See also:dialect. To these criticisms, interesting as See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of the already preponderant See also:influence of the dialect of the Ile de France, the poet replied by some verses in the satirical vein that best suited his temperament. Some of his best songs were inspired by anger at the delays before the crusade of 1188-1192. His See also:plain-speaking made him many enemies, and when he returned
with the See also:rest after the fruitless See also:capture of See also:Acre, these were not slow to take See also:advantage of the opportunity for See also:retaliation. Conon took See also:part with See also:Baldwin of See also:Flanders in the crusade which resulted in 1204 in the capture of See also:Constantinople, and he is said to have been the first to plant the crusaders' See also:standard on the walls of the See also:city. He held high See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office in the new See also:empire and died about 1224. His verses, of which the crusading See also:song Ahl amors See also:corn dare departie is well known, are marked by a vigour and See also:martial spirit which distinguish them from the See also:work of other trouveres.
The completest edition of his See also:works is in the Trouveres belges of Aug. See also:Scheler (1876).
