Biography
Cyprien Despourrins (in Occitan: Ciprian Desporrins) was an Occitan-language poet from Béarn and member of the Bigorre Parliament born in Accous in 1698.
Many of his poems (written in Béarnese dialect) are famous traditional folk songs from Béarn and 18th century opera singer Pierre Jélyotte interpreted some of them for the mistress of the King of France Mme de Pompadour and the Royal Court.
Despourrins died in Argelès-Gazost in 1759.
An obelisk dedicated to Despourrins stands in his town of birth, Accous, on which are inscribed two poems; one written by Béarnese poet Xavier Navarrot, and one written by Gascon poet Jasmin.
