The dominant form of German lyric poetry in the period was the minnesang, "a love lyric based essentially on a fictitious relationship between a knight and his high-born lady".[14] Initially imitating the lyrics of the French troubadours and trouvères, minnesang soon established a distinctive tradition.[14] There was also a large body of medieval Galician-Portuguese lyric.[15] Hebrew singer-poets of the Middle Ages included Yehuda Halevi, Solomon ibn Gabirol, and Abraham ibn Ezra.
