Giraut de Bornelh whose first name is also spelled Guiraut and whose toponym is de Borneil or de Borneyll, was a troubadour connected to the castle of the viscount of Limoges. He is credited with the formalisation, if not the invention, of the "light" style, or trobar leu.
Giraut was born to a lower-class family in the Limousin, probably in Bourney, near Excideuil in modern-day France.
Giraut's poems were first published in various collections, including Millot's Histoire litteraire des troubadours (Paris, 1774) and Raynouard's Choix des poésies originales des troubadours (Paris, 1816).
