As the name is likely a nickname or sobriquet (meaning ‘turned backward’ or ‘turned the wrong way’) the individual cannot be traced. Only one song, the more widely copied Or seroit mercis de saison (RS 1894) survives with a melody in the Chansonnier du Roi and the , which transmit slightly different versions of the melody. (en)
