The interpretation of Bernart"s sirventes as an attack on the treaty of 1229 was first proposed in 1885 by Camille Chabaneau and subsequently accepted by Alfred Jeanroy. The crusade waged in the name of peace was for "a peace of clerics and Frenchmen". According to Bernard, a peace imposed forcibly on the defeated is unjust and Raymond, as a good vassal, deserves just treatment.
Bernart also knew the troubadour Guilhem Peire Cazals de Caortz, with whom he composed one of his tensos.
