Palacio Sirvente de Mieres An elegant and well-equipped former palace in the old center of Andújar.

A sirvente by an anonymous troubadour shows how anxiously he was expected in Languedoc.

Sirvente, sir-vont′, n. a satirical song of the 12th-13th century trouv�res and troubadours.

The Sermintese or Serventese, it may be parenthetically said, was a form of satirical and occasional lyric adapted from the Provençal Sirvente.

Again, the Provençal sirvente is represented by the northern serventois, a poem in Chanson form, but occupied instead of love with war, satire, religion, and miscellaneous matters.
