Paio Soares de Taveirós

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paio Soares de Taveirós or Paay Soarez de Taveiroos seems to have been a minor Galician nobleman and troubadour active during the second and third decades of the 13th century. He was a brother of the troubadour . Of his works, six , three cantigas de amigo, and two tensos (one with and one with his brother) survive.

He may have been one of the earliest authors in Galician-Portuguese lyric, and his Cantiga da Garvaia, a satiric cantiga de amor (or ) is one of the most famous poems in the corpus.
