Dame Maroie

Dame Maroie or Maroie de Dregnau/Dergnau de Lille (fl. 13th century) was a trouvère from Arras, in Artois, France. She was identified as the Maroie de Dregnau de Lille^[1] from whom a single strophe of a single chanson remains, "Mout m'abelist quant je voi revenir" (in a typical trouvère form, ABABCDE), along with its music.^[2][3] She debates Dame Margot in a jeu parti, or debate song, "Je vous pri, dame Maroie."^[4] This song survives in two manuscripts,^[5] which each give separate and unrelated melodies.^[6] Dame Maroie is the addressee in a grand chant by Andrieu Contredit d'Arras.^[7]

The song "Je vous pri, dame Maroie" in the Chansonnier d'Arras
