  Troubadour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A troubadour was a composer and performer of songs during the Middle Ages in Europe.
The word troubadour comes from the Occitan verb "trouber," which means "to find." The word is used to designate musicians who spoke Occitan (or langue d'oc) and whose style spread to the trouvères in the north of France, who spoke langues d'oïl.
In some games in Intelligent Systems's Fire Emblem series, a Troubadour is a class, depicted as a healer on horseback.

It does have a list of various titles, although many are not relevant to the SCA (Minister of Industry, Section Chief of the Central Committee of the Party, Inspection Officer, etc.).

However, the lists are not accurate and contain names that are inappropriate to the cultures they claim to represent as well as, in some cases, including names of non-Humans.

Machaut's poetic output, and by extension the subset of texts he chose to set to music, is both personal and ritualized, lending it a timeless quality.
Some of the love themes date to Ovid and beyond, from whom they had been elaborated first by the troubadours of Provence and then by the northern trouvères, and so it is truly a classical tradition to which they belong.
Machaut marks the end of the lineage of the trouvères, and with it the development of the monophonic art song in the West.
