Raimon de Miraval (1160 -- 1220), also known as Raimondo di Miravalle, was a troubadour, a poor knight from Carcassonne who owned less than a quarter of the castle of Miraval. Of Raimon's works 45 remain, of which 22 have melodies: one of the highest survival rates among troubadours. Raimon was admired by contemporaries and by most poets of later generations.
