Martin Aurell, French author of La vielle et l’épée (The Fiddle and the Sword), explained that the troubadours ‘ actively participated in the struggles separating their contemporaries and that through their compositions, the troubadours even contributed to the success of this or that faction. ’
Grāmatas La vielle et l’épée (” Fīdele un zobens ”) autors Martēns Orels raksta, ka trubadūri ” aktīvi iesaistījās cīņās, kas sašķēla viņu laikabiedrus, un ar saviem sacerējumiem pat veicināja vienas vai otras puses sekmes ”.
