Dame Maroie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dame Maroie or Maroie de Dregnau/Dergnau de Lille (fl. 13th century) was a trouvère from Arras, in Artois, France.
She was identified as the Maroie de Dregnau de Lille[1] from whom a single strophe of a single chanson remains, "Mout m'abelist quant je voi revenir" (in a typical trouvère form, ABABCDE), along with its music.[2][3]
She debates Dame Margot in a jeu parti, or debate song, "Je vous pri, dame Maroie."[4] This song survives in two manuscripts,[5] which each give separate and unrelated melodies.[6] Dame Maroie is the addressee in a grand chant by Andrieu Contredit d'Arras.[7]
