In a slightly later poem, "D'un sirventes m'es gran voluntatz preza", Bernart attacks "amdos los reis" ("both the kings") for neglecting "lor fieus" ("their fiefs") that the "rei que conquer Suria" ("king who conquered Syria") has possessed. The two kings are James and Henry and "the king who conquered Syria" is a mocking reference to Louis, whose Seventh Crusade ended in defeat and capture at the Battle of Mansurah (1250). Louis was still captive in Syria (1254) when Bernart wrote in hopes that the two kings would take advantage of the French monarch's absence.
