Elisabeth Dispannet

She is known to have married in 1620 to the actor Jean Valliot, who is known to have been active in 1614–1627 and then probably died, as she is known to have been an independent widow during her period of fame in Paris in the 1630s.

She was engaged in the Grands Comediens (Comédiens du Roi) at the Hôtel de Bourgogne, which was opened in 1628.

They are known to have played the two major roles as the wives of Gaultier and Boniface in the farce La Comedie des comediens by Gougenot in 1632–33.

Abraham Bosses famous engraving of Les Farceurs de l'Hoˆtel de Bourgogne of the three great comic stars of the company, Gros-Guillaume, Gaultier-Garguille, and Turlupin, also shows a young woman with one hand on Guillaume's arm, distracting Gaultier, who failed to notice Turlupin stealing his purse.

She had a love affair with the fifteen years younger abbé Armentiéres, who later became the marquis d’Armentiéres, and who reportedly financed her and supported her after she left the stage and retired.
