Triboulet (playwright)

[4] Medievalist Bruno Roy [fr], confirmed the intuitions of Gustave Cohen and Eugénie Droz, studying the jester-playwright in his articles[1][5][6] and book.

[7] A bilingual edition of the works by Triboulet was published by Thierry Martin [fr].

[1] Triboulet led a theatrical troupe and was a praised author of farces and sotties.

He composed several comic pieces, five of which were preserved: the sotties Roi des Sots (c. 1454), La Farce de maître Pathelin (c. 1457[9][a]), Vigiles Triboulet (c. 1458), Copieurs et lardeurs (c. 1461), and Sots qui corrigent le magnificat (c. 1462).

René of Anjou rewarded himself by dressing up as a king, marrying him with the greatest pomp on 30 August 1452, and having his medal engraved in 1461.
