Who is the musical composer Max Von Sydow is talking about?
At around the 1:50 to 1:55 mark, Max von Sydow speaks of a man by the name of Debouliac (?):
"He was a soldier of fortune who happen to love music. He invented a kind of clavicord.. he composed music all the time, but being an amatuer, he made mistakes. He used harmonies no one ever heard. This was in 1314. Robert Bruce was about to fight Edward the II outside a town called Bannockburn, and Debouliac threw in with Bruce. Not for Scotland, or a title, or even for money.. but to get his music played in the Cathedral at Bannockburn. By nightfall, his army was decimated.. unfortunately so too were the musicians.. but the concert was held.
It was a disaster.. worse than the battle. Debouliac tore through town, slaying cymablists.. impaling singers. Only the most talented, the fastest escaped, burning their scores as they fled. Only my copy survived."

Granted, it could be a figment of the script writer's imagination, but I was wondering if:
1) there is more information on this person, and
2) if he is fictional, what is the music that plays during this sequence, as I would like to see if it is on youtube to listen to
UPDATE: okay, looks like the guy is fictional, and there is a very OOP LP that has the musical piece ("Robert De Bauleac's lament"), not to mention:
"At one point of the film, the character played by Max von Sydow tells some historical facts about the Medieval French composer Robert De Bauleac while listening to one of his work on a record player. When the film was released, a good number of music lovers tried to get a copy of the very same record in specialized stores which could never provide any for a very good reason: Robert De Bauleac has never existed and the composition heard in the film is none other than Antoine Duhamel's work. However the concerned peace of music, "Robert De Bauleac's Lament", has been since available as part of the complete movie soundtrack." - IMDB trivia page
