Wikipedia / Ademar Jordan

Ademar Jordan (fl. 11981212) was a knight and troubadour from Saint-Antonin in the Rouergue. He was possibly a vassal of Raimon Jordan.

Ademar apparently participated in the war against the Albigensian Crusade, for he was captured by Simon de Montfort on 6 May 1212 and is not heard from again. On the occasion of his capture he composed a sirventes in imitation of Bertran de Born, . His only other extant song is , a cobla esparsa or cobla de circonstance.

Ademar may also have participated in one of the Crusades (possibly the Fourth or the Reconquista).
