The troubadour tradition was not an exclusively male one, for there were many female troubadours
(called "trobairitz") that we know of. As far as surviving works are concerned, however, only one
trobairitz song survives: A chantar m'er de so qu'ieu non volria, written by the Comtessa
de Dia (Countess of Die). The Comtessa's biographical story is indeterminate, with even her birth
name being disputed (although Beatritz seems the likeliest answer), but we can suppose that her
status as the member of a wealthy family helped her song outlast any of her contemporaries'. The
song itself speaks from the perspective of a confused lover who has been mistreated by her male
partner, expressing confusion while also asserting herself and warning him "that too much
haughtiness makes many people suffer".
