Falquet (or Folquet) de Romans〔Falquet always appears in Latin documents as ''Falquetus de Rotmanis'' and his Occitan name is sometimes spelled ''Falqet'', ''Falqetz'', or ''Falkez'' and ''Rotmans'' or ''Roman''. His Italian name is ''Falchetto di Romans''.〕 (fl. 1215–1233) was the most famous troubadour attached to the court of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, where he garnered a high reputation despite the fact that his career began as a jongleur. His surviving work consists of fourteen or fifteen pieces: seven ''sirventes'' (two religious and two ''canso sirventes'' as well as one Crusade song), three ''tensos'' (each two ''coblas'' long), two or three ''cansos'' on courtly love, a ''salut d'amor'' (or ''epistola'') of 254 lines, and a religious ''alba''. His poetry is, in general, clear and elegant, and he was apparently very religious. Falquet was originally from Romans d'Isèra, a birthplace shared by the trobairitz Bieiris de Romans. According to his ''vida'' he was "at ease in the courts and of pleasant conversation. . . well-honoured among high society."〔Egan, 35.〕 ==Career in Italy and Provence== Falquet spent much of his career in Italy. Sometime before December 1220, he wrote the homesick ''Una chanso sirventes'' from Montferrat and addressed it to his lady across the Alps. He confessed to being unable to cease thinking ''pus parti de Vianes'' ("the greater part about Viennois"). Besides the court of Montferrat, there are allusions in Peire de la Mula which may place Falquet at the court of Ottone del Carretto as well. It was probably there, between 1220 and 1226, that he wrote his ''sirventes'' urging the emperor to "rescue" the Holy Land. Falquet was in communication with the trouvère Hugues IV de Berzé (''N'Ugo de Bersie'') who wrote a poem to Falquet (calling him Fouquet or Fouquez) asking him to join him on an imminent Crusade ''outra mar'' (overseas). Hugues's poem was sent with the jongleur Bernart (or Bernarz) d'Argentau. It is rife with information about the poets. According to Hugues, neither he nor Falquet were young at the time. Indeed, he was dead by August 1220, which provides an ''ante quem'' date for the poem. Hugues also states that Falquet had once been a jongleur, a detail also furnished by Falquet's ''vida''. Though the poetic exchange had been dated to 1201 or November 1220–September 1221, the former date is too early and the latter invalidated by Hugues's death. Recently, dates of 1215, 1216, 1217, and 1219 have been proffered. Hugue's poem, written in Old French, is preserved in the chansonniers with an Occitan ''razo''. Falquet was back in Provence in 1226–1228, when he wrote a ''tenso'', ''En chantan volh quem digatz'', with Blacatz. This is the only ''tenso'' he composed outside of Italy, where he composed with Nicoletto da Torino (''Nicolet, gran malenansa'') and the Count of Biandrate (''Pois vezem qu'el tond e pela''). In 1228 Falquet was back in Italy, where he composed a song mentioning the departure of Frederick II on the Sixth Crusade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Falquet de Romans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
