Arnaut was one of the troubadours of Provence, and to him is attributed the introduction into Provençal poetry of the amatory epistle. Although he studied for the church, he settled at the courts of Toulouse and Béziers. There he sang, in mystical terms, his passion for the countess Adalasia, in whose affections he had a dangerous rival in the person of Alfonso II of Aragon. Arnaut fled for his life to Montpellier, where he found a protector in Count William VIII, but he continued to address his sirventes to Adalasia. As that princess died in 1199, and as no planh (funeral lament) to her memory is found among the works of Arnaut de Mareuil, it is conjectured that by that time he was already dead.
