Dame Margot (trouvère)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Dame Margot (trouvere))
The song "Je vous pri, dame Maroie" in the Chansonnier d'Arras

Dame Margot (fl. 13th century) was a trouvère from Arras, in Picardy, France. One extant work of hers is jeu parti, a debate song, in which she debates Dame Maroie. This song, "Je vous pri, dame Maroie," survives in two manuscripts,[1] which each give separate and unrelated melodies.[2] In another jeu parti she is a judge, opposing Jehan le Cuvelier d'Arras and Jehan Bretel.[3] She is listed as a member of the Puy d'Arras.[4]
