Guillem Augier Novella

Ogiers si fo uns ioglars de vianes, questet lonc temps in lombardia. . ."Augier was a jongleur from the Viennois, who stayed a long time in Lombardy. . ."

Guillem Augier Novella was a troubadour from Vienne in the Dauphinois who lived most of his adulthood in Lombardy and was active as a minstrel in the early or mid thirteenth century. According to his late thirteenth-century vida, "he composed good descartz and sirventes in the manner of jongleurs, in which he praised some and blamed others." It has been described as a "funeral oration", It can therefore be viewed as representative of a genre of anti-Crusading verse prevalent in the trovatore traditions of Italy at the time. On the other hand, it is said to convey a "sense of personal loss" and not "opposition to the expedition".
