Biography
Guiraut Riquier (c.1230 - 1292) is among the last of the Provençal troubadours. He is well known because of his great care in writing out his works and keeping them together — the New Grove Encyclopedia considers him an "anthologist" of his own works.
He served under Aimery IV, Viscount of Narbonne, as well as Alfonso el Sabio, King of Castile. He is also believed to have worked under Henry II, Count of Rodez.
