Albertet Cailla

Albertet Cailla

Albert(et) Cailla or Calha was a Albigeois jongleur and troubadour. According to his "vida" he was "of slight worth" but beloved by his neighbours and the local women. His "vida" says that he composed one good "canso" and several "sirventes", but only one "partimen" survives. Unusually for a troubadour, he never left the Albigeois.

There is a "tenso" on the merits of old and young women which is ascribed to Albertet in at least two chansonniers, MSS "I" and "K".
