Chardon de Croisilles

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chardon de Croisilles , also simply called Chardon or Cardon , (* 13th century; † 13th century; effective between 1220 and 1245) was a northern French trobador from the beginning of the 13th century.

life and work

Chardon presumably came from Croisilles near Arras in northern France . He is associated with the Trobador School of Arras. He was the singer with the "petite pure" Marguerite von Bourbon-Dampierre († 1256), who married the famous trobador Theobald of Navarre in 1232 , with whom she took the throne of Navarre in 1234. Chardon stayed in 1237 in the entourage of Marguerite von Bourbon at the court of Navarre or at their castle in Monreal near Pamplona.

Five love songs were originally attributed to Chardon, one of them probably incorrectly. Two of the songs are dedicated to Marguerite von Bourbon. They are written in acrostics . These two songs and another reference to Monreal Castle near Pamplona lead experts to the assumption that Chardon joined Theobald's crusade to the Holy Land in 1239. Heinrich II von Bar , who subjected a Jeu parti von Chardon to a music review, also joined this crusade. In addition to the love songs, Chardon wrote two jeu partis and one partimen .

All of Chardon's lyrics are based on verse and cauda . The songs are as tens of silver , partits the Jeu as octosyllable sealed. Chardon's only traditional melodies for the poems Mar vit raison covoite trop haut and Rose ne lis ne me done talent are non-repetitive. The Occitan partimen is ascribed to Chardon by Oskar Schultz-Gora (1984), Hermann Suchier (1907), G. Huet (1908), Adolphe Guesnon (1909) and István Frank (1966). Vincenzo De Bartholomaeis (1906) and John H. Marshall contradict this assignment. Suchier dates the Partimen to around 1240.

For the famous crusader farewell song Li departirs de la douce contree , Chardon de Reins - it is "our" Chardon - is named as the author in the song itself.
