ABSTRACT

As you have just heard, Pons de Capdoill loved Lady Alazais de Mercuer, the wife of a great count of Alvergne, and the daughter of Sir Bemart d’Anduza, and he was much loved by her. 1 Their love was greatly celebrated by all the high-born people and because of it there were many fine courtly festivals, jousts, entertainments and beautiful songs.
