Ricau de Tarascon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ricau, Ricautz, or Richaut de Tarascon was a Provençal knight and troubadour from Tarascon. His vida portrays him as a good "servant" of ladies. He wrote both sirventes and cansos, but only two songs survive: one canso and one tenso, "Cabrit, al mieu vejaire", probably with Gui de Cavalhon.
