- of the ladies of Gascony,
- of Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne (1144–1194),
- of Queen Eléonore,
- of the Countess of Flanders,
- of the Countess of Champagne (1174).
André mentions nine judgments pronounced by the Countess of Champagne.
He quotes two judgments pronounced by the Countess of Flanders.
Jean de Nostradamus, Life of the Provençal Poets, says (p. 15):—
"The 'tensons' were disputes of Love, which took place between poets, both knights and ladies, arguing together on some fair and sublime question of love. Where they could not agree, they sent them, that they might get a decision thereon, to the illustrious ladies president who held full and open Court of Love at Signe and Pierrefeu, or at Romanin, or elsewhere, and they gave out decrees thereon which were called 'Lous Arrests d'Amours.'"
These are the names of some of the ladies who presided over the Courts of Love of Pierrefeu and Signe:—
- "Stephanette, Lady of Brulx, daughter of the Count of Provence.
- Adalarie, Viscountess of Avignon;
- Alalète, Lady of Ongle;
- Hermissende, Lady of Posquières;
- Bertrane, Lady of Urgon;
- Mabille, Lady of Yères;
- The Countess of Dye;
- Rostangue, Lady of Pierrefeu;
- Bertrane, Lady of Signe;
- Jausserande of Claustral."—(Nostradamus, p. 27.)
It is probable that the same Court of Love met sometimes at the Castle of Pierrefeu, sometimes at that of Signe. These two villages are just next to each other, and situated at an almost equal distance from Toulon and Brignoles.
In his Life of Bertrand d'Alamanon, Nostradamus says:
"This troubadour was in love with Phanette or Estephanette of Romanin, Lady of the said place, of the house of Gantelmes, who held in her time full and open Court of Love in her castle of Romanin, near the town of Saint-Remy, in Provence, aunt of Laurette of Avignon, of the house of Sado, so often celebrated by the poet Petrarch."
