Guiraudo lo Ros


Guiraudo lo Ros or Guiraudet le Roux was a troubadour from Toulouse of a poor family of knightly rank. According to his vida he travelled to the court of his lord, called Count Alfonso, probably a reference to either Alfonso Jordan or his son, another Alfonso. At court he fell in love with Alfonso's daughter, which experience taught him how to compose songs. Only eight of his songs survive, the most famous being En greu pantais.
