Jacques Gaultier

Then he was employed again as a court musician, among others, at the performances of the masques The Triumph of Peace (1634) by James Shirley and William Davenant's Britannia triumphans (1637).

In April 1645 Constantijn Huygens was trying to obtain a nine rib Laux Maler lute to accompany singing.

In 1649 Charles I gave Gaultier another Laux Maler lute, formerly belonging to the royal lutenist John Ballard.

Gaultier offered this lute to Huygens and sent it to The Hague but could not secure an expert recommendation for it from their mutual friend Mary Woodhouse.

[4] Like several royal servants, in 1651 Gaultier was paid compensation (£150) for unpaid wages by the Commonwealth Committee for the Sale of Late King's Goods.
