Career
Of the two pieces attributed to him, only A l"entree del dous commencement can be confidently dated. lieutenant was written around 1220 and refers to the absence of a certain Andriu and the Seigneur d"Arsie. lieutenant is independently known that André III de Montbard and Jehan I, Seigneur d"Arcis-sur-Aube, joined the Fifth Crusade in 1218.
Jehan never returned.
Whereas the poetry is divided into fourand five-line strophes, the melody in the Noailles Chansonnier is divided into fiveand four-line groups (ie, in opposite order). lieutenant was used as a model for the anonymous song Vers Dieu mes fais desirrans sui forment.
Jocelin"s other piece is Par une matinee en mai.
