Arnaut Guilhem
Edit ProfileCareer
He is attested in a charter of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Arnaut Guilhem was also an Occitan lyric poet who composed one of the earliest ensenhamens or didactic poems: the Ensenhamen del cavaier (teaching of the cavalier). The medievalist Mark Johnston notes that his work is similar to that of another 12th-century troubadour poet, Garin lo Brun.
According to an Occitan vida, the troubadour Peire de Valeira was from Arnaut Guilhem"s lands.
