Hue de la Ferté

About Hue de la Ferté

Hue de la Ferté (fl. 1220–35) was a French trouvère who wrote three serventois attacking the regency of Blanche of Castile during the minority of Louis IX. He maligns Blanche's partiality to foreigners and singles out Theobald I of Navarre, another trouvère, as unworthy of her support. Hue was a supporter of Pierre de Dreux, Duke of Brittany. His poem En talent ai que je die is modelled after En chantant m'estuet complaindré (1228–30) by Gace Brulé.
