Most of the information we have about Cercamon's life is nothing but rumour and conjecture; some of his contemporaries credit him as Marcabru 's mentor, and some Circumstantial Evidence points to him having died on crusade as a follower of Louis VII Of France . About 7 of his lyrics survive, but not a single melody; unfortunately, the work of his that most contributed to his fame among his contemporaries, his ''pastoretas'' or pastourelles, are lost. ''Cercamon'' simply means 'world searcher' in medieval Occitan. REFERENCES
