See also: Blondel
Blondel de Nesle (between 1175 and 1210) Poet, Trouvere and lord of the north of the France. He wrote twenty-four courteous songs.
He sticks to Richard Lion-hearted, King d' Angleterre, becomes his confidant and follows it in all its forwardings. One quotes Blondel like a model of fidelity: it is told that after long research, he discovers the prison where Léopold V of Babenberg, duke of Austria, locked up the English king, and which it is by singing a lovesong that he had composed with this prince that he is made some recognize.
This anecdote provided to Michel-Jean Sedaine the subject of its opera of Richard but nothing is less authentic.
Prosper Tarbé published in 1862, according to the manuscripts, 34 songs of Blondel.
