The Fall of the Troubadours is a book written by John Frederick Rowbotham. It is a historical account of the decline of the troubadours, a group of poets and musicians who flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries in the Occitan-speaking regions of southern France. The book explores the social, political, and cultural factors that led to the decline of the troubadours, including the Albigensian Crusade, the rise of the Inquisition, and the consolidation of power by the French monarchy. Rowbotham also examines the legacy of the troubadours and their impact on European literature and music. The Fall of the Troubadours is a comprehensive and engaging study of a fascinating period in European history.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Troubadours and Courts of Love, by John Frederick Rowbotham.
