Johan Blanch


Johan Blanch was an Occitan troubadour who composed a canso for a joc floral at the Consistori del Gay Saber. According to the rubric of the fourteenth-century chansonnier that preserves it, he was a Catalan whose poem "won the violet", top prize. His canso is elegant and pleading.
His dates are entirely unknown, as is the year he won the violet, though Jaume Massó i Torrents hypothesised 1360.
