I',m afraid I'm not completely sure what kind of information
you are looking for. However, perhaps these files in the
CHIVALRY section of the Florilegium might be of use:
courtly-love-bib  (13K) 10/15/98    Bibliography on Courtly Love.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/CHIVALRY/courtly-love-bib.html
courtly-love-msg  (16K)  2/ 9/01    The history and concept of courtly love.
