Audefroi le Bastart

about

Audefroi le Bastart (modern French "Bâtard") was a French trouvère from Artois, who flourished in the early thirteenth century. Of his life nothing is known, though he was certainly the illegitimate child of a noble or upper-class bourgeouis family. The Seigneur de Nesles, to whom some of his songs are addressed, is probably the Châtelain of Bruges who joined the Fourth Crusade. Audefroi was the author of ten chansons d'amour and five chansons de toile: "Argentine", "Belle Idoine", "Belle Isabeau", "Belle Emmelos", and "Biatrix". These five follow older chansons in subject, but the smoothness of the verse and beauty of detail readily compensate for the spontaneity of the shorter form.
