 The poet mentions the death of Guy of Montfort, which actually took place in 1228; it is questionable whether the whole of part 2 was written after that date, or whether the reference to Guy's death was a later insertion.Saverio Guida has proposed that Gui de Cavalhon may be the author.Gui, besides being a troubadour, was also a noble, and one of the most faithful allies of Raymond VI of Toulouse.
