At de Mons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

N'At de Mons[1] was a troubadour of the latter half of the thirteenth century. He was from Mons near Toulouse. James I of Aragon and Alfonso X of Castile acted as his patrons and he addressed "La valors es grans e l'onors", a sirventes on the rights of kings, to James, which survives. At is also credited as the author of "Sitot non es enquistz", an ensenhamen comprising five letters, including three to James and one to Alfonso.

  1. ^ "N'" is a contraction of Occitan en, meaning "sir". At de Mons is sometimes called Nat de Mons because of a confusion regarding this title.
