A troubadour ( IPA:, originally) was a composer and performer of Occitan Lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100&ndash1350 At least fifteen of his songs survive and there are seven which were attributed to him in some medieval manuscripts. [1]

Aimeric's birthplace was the castle of Lesparra in the Bordelais (metropolis civitas Burdigalensium, the modern Gironde). A castle is a defensive structure seen as one of the main symbols of the Middle Ages.

[2] His biographer records that he lingered in Gascony a long time "for her" before eventually moving on to Catalonia, where he died.

Aimeric went to Castile before making his final trip to Catalonia. [1] His last datable work was Nulhs hom en res no falh, a planh for Nuño Sánchez, who died in 1242. The planh or plaing is a funeral lament used by the Troubadours modeled on the medieval Latin Planctus. Nunyó Sanç (Nuno Sanche (c1185&ndash1242 was a Catalan nobleman and statesman [1] This planh was addressed to the comtessa Beatris, wife of Raymond Berengar IV of Provence, and senher N'Imo, her brother Aimone, son of Thomas I of Savoy.

Aimeric's verses were first collected by Maria Dumitrescu as Poésies du troubadour Aimeric de Belenoi and published at Paris in 1935.
