Baudouin des Auteus
Baudouin des Auteus (Latin: Balduinus de Altaribus) was a Picard trouvère of the early thirteenth century, probably from Autheux near Doullens.[1] Unfortunately, "the two works attributed to him are both of disputed authorship."[2]
The song M'ame et mon cors doing a celi is recorded with two different melodies, one in the manuscript tradition of BnF F-Pa 5198 and another in the Chansonnier du Roi and . The latter melody is non-repetitive, while the poem is isometric. The other song ascribed by some manuscripts to Baudouin is Avril ne mai, froidure ne let tans. It too is isometric, decasyllabic, and has nine-line stanzas. Though it is also attributed to Gace Brulé, the attribution to Baudouin is more likely.[3]
It was once suggested that Baudouin des Auteus was the same Baudouin that participated in some jeux partis with Theobald I of Navarre, but this is dubious.
