Summary "Troubadour Tales" by Evaleen Stein is a collection of enchanting stories written in the early 20th century. The tales revolve around the lives of troubadours—poet-singers—set in the picturesque region of Provence, France. The opening story introduces Count Reynaurd, a nobleman and troubadour, as he journeys to the palace of King René, known for gathering troubadours and celebrating their craft through song contests. The opening of the tale begins with Count Reynaurd, accompanied by his page Pierrot, as they make their way to the city of Aix in beautiful Provence. The atmosphere is light-hearted, with descriptions of their decorations and playful banter, underscoring Reynaurd’s joyful spirit as he prepares to partake in a poetic contest at King René's court. However, Reynaurd becomes enmeshed in a comedic rivalry with Count William of Auvergne, who seeks to outshine him in the upcoming song competition. The stage is set for a blend of charm, rivalry, and the spirit of musical storytelling, showcasing a world where cleverness, artistry, and wit unfold against a backdrop of noble aspirations.
