Artist Info: Uc Brunenc

Uc Brunet, Brunec, or Brunenc (English: Hugh, Latin: Ugo; fl. 1190–1220)[1] was a nobleman and troubadour from Rodez in the Rouergue. Six of his works survive.[1]

Outside of his own works and those of other troubadours, including a vida, Uc is mentioned in only one document dated to around 1190. The document relates the settlement between Uc and the abbey of Bonnecombe, from which Uc had demanded free lodging for himself, five of his knights, and a servant. [read more...]
