Alamanda was a trobairitz whose only surviving work is a tenso with Giraut de Bornelh called S'ie us qier conseill, bella amia Alamanda. In the past she was usually considered fictitious and the "tenso" was considered a piece of Giraut's writing. However, an Alamanda is mentioned by three other troubadours, including the trobairitz Lombarda, indicating that she was probably real and quite prominent in Occitan poetic circles. Her tenso with Giraut de Bornelh mirrors in form a canso by the Comtessa de Dia.
