Turc Malec (also Turc Malet, Truc Maletz) was a minor troubadour and nobleman, probably from Quercy. He wrote the cobla esparsa En Raimon, be.us tenc a grat, the last in a series of three sirventes, and in response to Raimon de Durfort (also from Quercy), who in turn was responding to Arnaut Daniel. All three of the sirventes were written in nine monorhyming stanzas, the first two of seven syllables and the last seven of eight.
A vida-razo was composed for Raimon and Turc, which goes like this:
Raimons de Dufort e·N Turc Malec si foron du cavallier de Caersi que feiren los sirventes de la domna que ac nom ma donna n'Aia, aquella que dis al cavalier de Cornil qu'ella no l'amaria si el no la cornava el cul. Et aqui son escritz los sirventes.
Raimon de Durfort and Lord Turc Malec were two knights from Quercy who composed the sirventes about the lady called Milady Aia (? Ena), the one who said to the knight of Cornil [possibly Bernart de Cornil, but actually a play on cornar, "to sound a horn"] that she would not love him if he did not blow in her arse. And here are written the sirventes.[1]
The vida-razo, however, is mistaken. In the poem Aia does not ask to be "blown" in the cul (anus) but in the corn. This may be a reference to the anal sphincter (which can make noise like a horn) or to the clitoris. Although the vida has been taken to contain a concealed reference to homosexual sex, in fact it is either referring to typical vaginal sex or, insultingly, to oral stimulation of the anus.[2]
