Resumen

The present paper discusses the portrayal of the trobairitz, female lyricists, in the Occitan vidas and razos, with a focus on what makes these descriptions different from those of their male counterparts, the troubadours. This analysis elevates the status of Na Tibors, depreciates that of Na Castelloza, and suggests a new appreciation of the anonymous songstress who associated with Guilhem Rainol d’Apt.
