Notes:
Guillelma de Rosers was a Provençal trobairitz of the mid-thirteenth century, one of the last known trobairitz. She was originally from Rougiers but lived in Genoa for a long time, where she met Lanfranc Cigala, who wrote about her in some songs. These and Lanfranc's vida form the major source of information about her life. She is also the addressee—la flor de cortezia, the flower of courtliness—of an anonymous canso, "Quan Proensa ac perduda proeza", which bemoans her long stay in Genoa.
