Conon de Béthune

Conon de Béthune was a French trouvère active in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, composing lyric poetry and monophonic songs associated with the courts of northern France. His repertoire includes courtly love songs and pieces related to the Crusades, written in Old French and reflecting the conventions of the trouvère tradition and the political and cultural milieu of Angevin and Capetian rule.
