Trésorier de Lille

Haute honor d'un commandement, text and music. The author is identified by the encircled red text in the right margin.

The Trésorier de Lille was a 13th-century trouvère from Lille. He is sometimes thought to be the same person as the Trésorier d'Aire.[1]

Identity

Trésorier is not a name but a title meaning "treasurer". Arthur Dinaux identified the Trésorier de Lille with the trouvère Pierre le Borgne.[2] He was followed by Henri Pajot[3] and tentatively by Robert Linker.[4] Auguste Scheler rejected the identification.[5]

Guillaume d'Haverskerque, a son of Bauduin, lord of Haverskerque, is the most likely candidate for the trouvère.[2][6] Guillaume married a daughter of the famous crusader Elinard, lord of Seninghem, but later entered the church. He is recorded as treasurer of the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre d'Aire between February 1252 and March 1257.[2] He was the treasurer of Saint-Pierre de Lille in 1270–1271 and then provost of Aire beginning in 1273 or 1274.[7] He died between 1282 and 1285.[1]
