Leonin, who worked in Paris during the second half of the 12th century, and Perotin, who continued after Leonin, developed polyphonic organum. This was a type of music composition the was developed into counterpoint.
Prior to organum, music was very simple, with a single melodic line, sung in unison. There were possible additions, such as a drone, which stuck to a single tone. Organum used the same melodic line duplicated in easy ways such as at an interval of a third or fourth above the main line. This was developed with increasing complexity until, with counterpoint, second and third melodic lines that were very different melodies were used simultaneously, related to each other in accordance with a set of rules developed for the purpose.

Quite possibly Notre Dame. Yes, it would have been Notre Dame in Paris, although the building the cathedral was barely 20 years into the construction and it wouldn't be finished for another century. The first mention we have of Perotin is in "Anonymous IV" which was an English music student's notebook from ca.1280. Consequently there is no contemporary mention of Perotin during his lifetime, if he existed. Today, we use "Perotin" to personify the 2nd generation of Notre Dame composers - a period of amazing strides in 3- and 4-part polyphony.
