Rainaut de Pons
Rainaut de Pons, in French Renaud de Pons, was a troubadour from the region of Saintonge in the County of Poitou. According to his vida, he was lord of the castle of Pons. He composed tensos with Jaufre de Pons, one of his retainers according to the vida. One of their partimens survives in several manuscripts.
The identity of the troubadour is not certain, but chronologically he must be either the Rainaut de Pons who served as seneschal of Gascony in the period 1214–17, or the latter's nephew, Rainaut II, lord of Pons, an avid crusader.
