The planh or plaing ([ˈplaɲ]; "lament") is a funeral lament used by the troubadours, modeled on the medieval Latin planctus. It differed from the planctus in that it was intended for a secular audience. Alfred Jeanroy noticed three different types: those dedicated to grands personnages (great patrons), those to family and friends, and those to ladies and lovers.
