Eustache le Peintre de Reims
Eustache le Peintre de Reims or Eustache de Rains (fl. 1225–40) was a trouvère from Reims, possibly a painter (Script error: No such module "Lang".), but that may just be a family name. Seven poems of his are preserved in surviving chansonniers.
Eustache addressed one of his songs, "Script error: No such module "Lang".", to Guigues IV, Count of Forez and Nevers. Guigues participated in the Barons' Crusade of Theobald I of Navarre in 1239 and died in 1241; Eustache's poem was probably written during this time.
All of Eustache's poems are in isometric decasyllables; stanzas are usually eight lines in length with two rhymes. His melodies are simple, and recorded in bar form. He must have participated in puys, for his "Script error: No such module "Lang"." is labelled a Script error: No such module "Lang". (crowned, i.e. prized, song) in one of the manuscripts.
