According to her later vida, Castelloza was the wife of Turc de Mairona, probably the lord of Meyronne.[1] Turc's ancestors had participated in a Crusade around 1210 or 1220, which was the origin of his name (meaning "Turk").[1] She was reputed to have been in love with Arman de Brion, a member of the house of Bréon and of greater social rank than her, about whom she wrote several songs.[1] Her vida records her to have been "very gay", "very learned", and "very beautiful".[1] Only threeperhaps four if recent scholarship is acceptedof her songs (all cansos) survive, all without music.[2] This, however, makes her at least the second most prolific of trobairitz in terms of surviving works: only Beatriz de Dia certainly has more, with four cansos to her name.[3] The subject of all her poems is courtly love.

Compared with Beatriz de Dia, Castelloza is a more conservative poet. Her persona throughout her works is consistent and though she raises the tension between conditional and unconditional love she always remains committed to absolute fidelity.[4]

One scholar, Peter Dronke, has seen Castelloza's songs as forming a lyric cycle.[5]
