About Le Chastelain de Couci

Le Chastelain de Couci (modern orthography Le Châtelain de Coucy) was a French trouvère of the 12th century. He may have been the Guy de Couci who was castellan of Château de Coucy from 1186 to 1203 and fought in the third and fourth Crusades. Some twenty-six songs, written in langue d'oïl are attributed to him, and about fifteen or sixteen are considered authentic. The legend of the love of the Châtelain de Coucy and the Lady of Fayel, in which there figures a jealous husband who makes his wife eat the heart of her lover, has no historical basis, and dates from a late 13th century romance by Jakemon Sakesep.
