Not everyone knows that in the courts of Provence, near the Troubadours, there was also the female counterpart, the "trobairitz", held in high regard so that no Troubadours dared speak out against one of them on pain of contempt.
The trobairiz belonged to the aristocracy and were educated, skilled entertainers, they knew the music, dance and poetry, and above all embodied the feminine ideal of the Troubadours, which were often sung.
Unfortunately we have little information on trobairitz, likely victims of censorship of later centuries.
We are aware of a few names, which you have limited biographical data (taken from vidas and razos trobairitz that both of the Troubadours linked to them).
were received only 25 tracks, where we find the same themes of troubadour poetry: love in all its facets.
trobairitz stand out among the Countess of Dia, Castelloza, Maria of France.
