The troubadours travelled around medieval Provence singing of courtly love, friendship and duty. Their female equivalent were known as the trobaritz.
About twenty in number, they were well educated and wrote and sang songs in the same stylised genre as their male counterparts - but with more real emotion and personal experience.
Only one song still exists with music. It's called A Chantar M'er by Beatriz de dia.
Henrietta Otley spoke to Hazel Brooks from the early music group Concanentes and Ardis Butterfield, Lecturer at University College London, about unsung heroine Beatriz.
