Colin Muset (fl. 1200), French trouvère, was a poet, musician and a native of Lorraine. He made his living by travelling from castle to castle singing his own songs and playing the vielle. These are not confined to the praise of the conventional love that formed the usual topic of the trouvres, but contain many details of a singers life. His complete works (21 poems) were published by Joseph Bédier in 1912 (Paris).
