1. One of a class of 12th-century and 13th-century lyric poets in Southern France, northern Italy, and northern Spain, who composed songs in langue d'oc often about courtly love.

Given the fact they are EuropeanI have no idea why you say it with an english accent

I have a feeling it was Edinburgh, but I can't be certain if we just dubbed a random minstrel or not

facking troubadours. As soon as i said it I started to laugh, whatever it was that caused it I'm sure it was a joke taken far too far.
