History

Seigneur de Blaye JaufrĂ© Rudel (flourished 1130–50) was second to Guilhem VII, count of Poitiers on the ordinary list of great troubadours, wrote stanzas of simple and pathetic accents. The story of his “far-away love,” possibly the Countess of Tripoli, gave rise to a legend that became popular in literature, notably Edmond Rostand’s play La Princesse lointaine (1895).
