France
Country of location:
France
Notes:
Dame de la Chaucie was a medieval French woman trouvère, probably associated with La Chaussée in Crouy-sur-Ourcq. Almost nothing is known about her life or identity. She is one of the small number of women explicitly associated with the trouvère tradition.
Her only known work is the jeu-parti Que ferai je, dame de la Chaucie, composed as a poetic debate with Sainte des Prez. The dialogue discusses how a woman should respond when a man declares his love. The text survives in a medieval manuscript, but no original music is preserved.
