- 1924 – 1957, Ramón Menéndez Pidal, Poesía juglaresca y juglares. Orígenes de las literaturas románicas :
- La postrera reacción en favor del arte occitánico se produjo en el reinado de Alfonso X (1254-1284); el nuevo rey, con sus pretensiones al dominio de Gascuña y al imperio de Alemania, con su desmedida afición a toda clase de artistas, agradeció espléndidamente las alabanzas de los últimos trovadores provenzales, quienes medraron en Castilla mucho mejor que en la corte aragonesa.
- The later reaction in favour of the Occitan art was produced during the reign of Alfonso X (1254-1284). The new king, with his ambition to rule the territory of Gasconia and the German empire, and his unmetered passion for all kinds of artists, was splendidly grateful for the praises of these last Provençal troubadours, who flourished in Castile much better than at the Aragonese court.
