Thibaut de Champagne (1201-1253), King of Navarre, is the best-known of the late trouvères, with over forty surviving songs in dozens of sources. He was a major part of the politics of his day, an era during which the Champagne fairs were the financial pivot of Europe, and took part in the 6th Crusade. He left a wide variety of song forms, on almost every major topic of the day.
