Artist Info: Castelloza

Na[a] Castelloza (fl. early 13th century) was a noblewoman and trobairitz from Auvergne.

According to her later vida, Castelloza was the wife of Turc de Mairona, probably the lord of Meyronne. Turc's ancestors had participated in a Crusade around 1210 or 1220, which was the origin of his name (meaning "Turk"). She was reputed to have been in love with Arman de Brion, a member of the house of Bréon and of greater social rank than her, about whom she wrote several songs. [read more...]
