Castellan of Coucy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raoul de Coucy, châtelain de Coucy

Castellan of Coucy (also Raoul or Regnault de Coucy ) was a historically attested trouvère of the 12th / 13th. Century, who died on a crusade .

background

The castellan of Coucy is credited with 24 songs in the Oïl language , which were published in Paris in 1830 by the medievalist Francisque Michel . The source of later adaptations is a poetic novel about the Castellan de Coucy from the beginning of the 14th century. The best known works about him are the poem by Ludwig Uhland and the poems by Boccaccio and Margaret of Navarra ( The Chastelaine de Vergy ). Castellan de Coucy is the name of a twelfth century troubadour who is believed to have lived around 1188. It is not known whether it was a member of the Coucy family . Since a castellan is a steward, behind this designation is possibly Guy von Coucy, evidently 1186-1203, who perished on a crossing to the Holy Land, or it is Raoul I de Coucy , who fell in November 1191 off Acre .

The late thirteenth or early fourteenth century manuscripts of the novel du châtelain de Coucy et de la dame de Fayel were written by an author named Jakemes. This tale tells of the tragic love of a certain Regnaut, the lord of Coucy, for the lady of Fayel. She was forced by her husband to consume the heart of the deceased lover and is said to have grieved to death about it.

In 1829 this work, written in 8,265 verses, was translated by Georges-Adrien Crapelet . According to the story, the Lord of Coucy was on the Third Crusade with Richard the Lionheart in 1190 and died in Palestine in 1192 at the age of 24. This suggests that it could be Raoul de Coucy. Francisque Michel and others, on the other hand, were of the opinion that the Lord of Coucy must have been Gui, who was demonstrably traveling to Jerusalem with Richard the Lionheart.
