  The social system of 'courtly love' soon spread after becoming popularized by the troubadours of southern France in the twelfth century. This book codifies life at Queen Eleanor's court at Poitiers between 1170 and 1174 into one of those capital works which reflect the thought of a great epoch, which explain the secret of a civilization.
