Trouveres (jan 1, 1150 – jan 1, 1377)

Description:

lived in the north of France (Paris/University students), writing poetry in Old French.the trouvères experienced great social change as feudalism waned in the 13th century and gradually more trouvères began leaving the aristocratic courts and estates to work in burgeoning urban centers such as Arras. By the 14th century, as the viable tradition of both the troubadours and the trouvères withered, societies and academies were established to preserve and promote the art.

Machaut is the last Trouvere
