Estêvão Travanca
Trovador medieval


Nationality: Portuguesa

Biographical Note:

Portuguese troubadour possibly identifiable with an homonym mentioned in the 1258 inquiries, along with a certain Gonçalo and a Lourenço Martins de Travanca (a locality close to Amarante). Although the books of lineages don’t mention him, his surname is not unknown to the Nobiliaries, since a certain Maria Martins de Travanca (possibly sister to the aforementioned individuals), that would have lived around the second half of the 13th century, is mentioned there1. But nothing more concrete is known of this author’s biography
