CASTLES AND FORTS THE Anatomy of TROBAIRITZ OCCITANIA, 13TH CENTURY LYRICAL LIMITATION ONLY A FEW SUBJECTS WERE CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE FOR WOMEN Themalecounterparttoatrobairitzwasatroubadour. Theformerwasoftenthesubjectofthelatter’s writings and, on the whole, women were not allowed toexpressthemselvesasfreelyasmen.Itwasn’t consideredacceptableforthemtowriteabout anything more than love and appearance. MUSICAL PIONEERS TROBAIRITZ WERE THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND ‘Trobairitz’ comes from the Occitan word ‘trobar’, which means ‘to compose’. They were the first known female authors of secular music in the Western world and their inspiration often came from life in a castle while the men were campaigning. PRIVATE OR PUBLIC DISPLAY? THE HEARTFELT LYRICS COULD BE TOO POIGNANT FOR OTHERS TO HEAR Lyrics often focused on what was desirable in a man: kindness and maturity, not expertise in combat or acting macho. Some of the songs were so personal that historians debate whether they were actually sung to an audience or just a sorrowful private lament. MUSICAL INSTRUMENT FROM LUTES AND FIDDLES TO REBECS While the men were off fighting in the Crusades, women were expected to stay in the courts and provide entertainment.

A TOUCH OF CLASS OCCITANIA WAS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO BE AS A NOBLEWOMAN Trobairitz are unique for the era as they wrote under their own name rather than using a male alias, which was a popular practice at the time. They were in the upper crust of Occitanian society, and their equivalents in the lower classes were known as joglaresa.
