Film crews at the domaine de Vieillecour
At the end of the summer, when the lights begin to take their golden shades and reddding autumnas, we had the pleasure of receiving the filming teams of a departmental documentary project. The castle has served as a background for Katy Bernard’s intervention (lecturer and medieval) that tells us about Troubadours in general and more particularly Jaubert of Puycibot to whom the episode turned to the estate is devoted.
Jaubert de Puycibot, local troubadour
Son of Châtelain de Puycibot, near Jumilhac (Dordogne) (link to activities and leisure), he would have been, according to his “Vida”, a monk of the Cistercian abbey of Saint-Léonard hence his nickname “Lo Monge de Picibot ” He was the protégé de Savaric from Mauléon, another Troubadour, who also played a political role at his time, around 1250.
