Perdigon
Perdigon or Perdigo (fl. 1190–1220) was a troubadour from Lespéron in the Gabales, diocese of Gévaudan, modern Lozère. Fourteen of his works survive, including three cansos with melodies. He was respected and admired by contemporaries, judging by the widespread inclusion of his work in chansonniers and in citations by other troubadours.
Though his biography is made confounding by contradicting statements in his vida and allusions in his and others' poems, Perdigon's status as a jongleur from youth and an accomplished fiddler is well-attested in contemporary works (by him and others) and manuscript illustrations depicting him with his fiddle. Perdigon travelled widely and was patronised by Dalfi d'Alvernha, the Baux,Peter II of Aragon, and Barral of Marseille. His service to the latter provides an early definite date for his career, as Barral died in 1192 and Perdigon composed a canso—which survives with music—for him.
According to his vida, Perdigon was the son of a poor fisherman who excelled through his "wit and inventiveness" to honour and fame, was clothed and eventually armed, knighted, and granted land and rent by Dalfi d'Alvernha. After this period of his life, which is said to have lasted a long time, the manuscripts of his vida diverge. According to one version, death deprived him of his friends, male and female, and so he lost his position and entered a Cistercian monastery, where he died. That he entered a Cistercian monastery has never been proven, but has received some support from two of his works.

Spinning In Agony
by: BrodequinMutilation, stretching while breaking on the wheel,
Tied down spread eagle on an iron bar breaks each limb.
Soothing the crowd's thirst for misery,
Cheers of approval following each scream.
Remove the broken body,
Spectators in wait of the ultimate torment,
Slow death by burning at the stake.
Tearing skin from the flesh every blow must hurt,
Strucki n the throat not deat yet body to be burnt.
In endless agony, for all the accusers to see.
