Peire attended the Aragonese court during some of its visits to [[Narbonne]], but although the ruling viscountess of that city, [[Ermengarde of Narbonne\|Ermengarde]], was a notable patron of troubadours (like [[Azalais de Porcairagues]]) there is no indication that she patronised Peire or that he wrote songs for her.{{sfn\|Fraser\|2006\|p=3}}		Peire started his career, along with the troubadour [[Bernart Durfort]], at the court of Count [[Raymond V of Toulouse]] around 1176. He continued there until 1190, when he left to seek another patron after quarrelling with the count.{{sfn\|Fraser\|2006\|p=2}} Many of his early poems were addressed to Vierna de Porcellet, a relative of the count's. In some poems Peire, Vierna and Raymond form a love triangle.{{sfn\|Fraser\|2006\|p=2}} From Toulouse Peire went to the court of King [[Alfonso II of Aragon]], where he remained in good favour until the king's death in 1196. Afterward he continued to occasionally visit the court of Alfonso's son, [[Peter II of Aragon\|Peter II]]. In the rivalry between the rulers of Toulouse and Aragon, Peire took the side of Aragon. He visited the court of King [[Alfonso VIII of Castile]] at [[Toledo, Spain\|Toledo]] in 1195 and intermittently thereafter until 1201.{{sfn\|Fraser\|2006\|p=3}} He also stayed for a time at the court of King [[Alfonso IX of León]], where the [[Galician–Portuguese lyric]] was favoured over the Occitan.{{sfn\|Fraser\|2006\|p=3}} Among Peire's many lesser patrons were Lord [[William VIII of Montpellier]] and his wife, the Byzantine princess [[Eudokia Komnene, wife of William VIII of Montpellier\|Eudokia Komnene]].{{sfn\|Fraser\|2006\|p=3}} (William was both a vassal of Peter II and his father-in-law.)
