Information:  - Chambers of rhetoric were dramatic societies in the Low Countries. Their members were called Rederijkers (singular Rederijker), from the French word 'rhétoricien', and during the 15th and 16th centuries were mainly interested in dramas and lyrics. These societies were closely connected with local civic leaders and their public plays were a form of early public relations for the city.  - Chrétien de Troyes ("Christian") was a late-12th-century French poet and trouvère known for his work on Arthurian subjects, and for originating the character Lancelot. This work represents some of the best-regarded of medieval literature. His use of structure, particularly in "Yvain, the Knight of the Lion", has been seen as a step towards the modern novel. Little is known of his life, but he seems to have been from Troyes, or at least intimately connected with it, and between 1160 and 1172 he served at the court of his patroness Marie of France, Countess of Champagne, daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine, perhaps as herald-at-arms (as Gaston Paris speculated).  - Lyric poetry is a formal type of poetry which expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically spoken in the first person. The term derives from a form of Ancient Greek literature, the lyric, which was defined by its musical accompaniment, usually on a stringed instrument known as a lyre. The term owes its importance in literary theory to the division developed by Aristotle between three broad categories of poetry: lyrical, dramatic and epic.  - Thibaut de Blaison , Blason , or Blazon ( died after March 1229 ) was a Poitevin nobleman , Crusader , and trouvère from a noble family with lands in Blason and Mirabel . Eleven poems -- one contested and one definitely spurious -- have been ascribed to Thibaut in the chansonniers . Three further anonymous songs have also been attributed to him by Terence H. Newcombe , his modern editor . Thibaut was the seneschal of Poitou and his uncle was Maurice , Bishop of Poitiers . In 1214 Thibaut helped negotiate a truce between Philip II of France and John of England . In 1212 he was taking part in the Reconquista in Spain and he was among the Albigensian Crusaders besieging Toulouse in 1218 . He appears alongside the trouvère Amauri de Craon in a document of 1219 . He attended the coronation of Louis IX in 1226 , along with the trouvère Hue de la Ferté . Theobald I of Navarre , also a trouvère , dedicated the song De ma dame souvenir to Thibaut and also used Thibaut 's Amours , que porra devenir as a model for a religious poem of his own . Gautier d'Espinal also borrowed the melody of Amours for one piece . Thibaut himself borrowed from rhythms from the polyphonic repertoire of the day . He may have based his Bien font Amours lor talent on the conductus Quid frustra consumeris and Chanter et renvoisier seuil on Sol sub nube latuit . With the exception of three chansons that are restricted to a sixth -- Amours , que porra devenir , Chanter et renvoisier seuil , and Huimain par un ajourant -- and one , Li miens chanters ne puet mais remanoir , which is severely restricted in movement , most of Thibaut 's melodies move freely . They are all basically syllabic , with only Li miens chanters exhibiting more complex melisma . Compared to his melodies ( all recorded in bar form ) , his prosody is usually simple , though three songs -- Bien font Amours lor talent , Bon jour ait hui cele a cui sui amis , and Quant je voi esté venir -- exhibit some variety . The simplicity of Bien font Amours is more in keeping with Thibaut 's...  - Trouvère, sometimes spelled trouveur , is the Northern French (langue d'oïl) form of the langue d'oc (Occitan) word "trobador". It refers to poet-composers who were roughly contemporary with and influenced by the troubadours (composers and performers of Old Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages) but who composed their works in the northern dialects of France. The first known "trouvère" was Chrétien de Troyes ("fl". 1160s-1180s) (Butterfield, 1997) and the "trouvères" continued to flourish until about 1300. Some 2130 "trouvère" poems have survived; of these, at least two-thirds have melodies.  - Blason is a form of poetry. The term originally comes from the heraldic term "blazon" in French heraldry, which means either the codified description of a coat of arms or the coat of arms itself. The Dutch term is Blazoen, and in either Dutch or French, the term is often used to refer to the coat of arms of a chamber of rhetoric.  - A troubadour was a composer and performer of Old Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (11001350). Since the word "troubadour" is etymologically masculine, a female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz.  - In heraldry and heraldic vexillology, a blazon is a formal description of a coat of arms, flag or similar emblem, from which the reader can reconstruct the appropriate image. The verb "to blazon" means to create such a description. The visual depiction of a coat of arms or flag traditionally has considerable latitude in design, while a blazon specifies the essentially distinctive elements; thus it can be said that a coat of arms or flag is primarily defined not by a picture but rather by the wording of its blazon (though often flags are in modern usage additionally and more precisely defined using geometrical specifications). "Blazon" also refers to the specialized language in which a blazon is written, and, as a verb, to the act of writing such a description. This language has its own vocabulary, grammar and syntax, or rules governing word order, which becomes essential for comprehension when blazoning a complex coat of arms.    What is the relationship between 'thibaut de blaison' and 'poet'?
