Career
He was not a professional jongleur, but a troubadour who wrote songs for amusement which were much celebrated, so we are told, by Occitan women. Ponç participated in the Siege of Conca (1177) on the side of Alfonso II of Aragon and a little later in the campaign to bring Raymond V of Toulouse to heel. He wrote four amorous compositions which form a small cycle dedicated to an anonymous lady called "On-tot-mi-platz".
Ponç is one of the few troubadours suspected of anthologising his own works.
Though his work is all in Occitan, some Catalan words make appearances.
