Victor Louis Marie Gaillard (1825–1856) was a Belgian lawyer, numismatist, historian and archivist.
[1] Although called to the bar he dedicated much of his time to historical research, and especially to his collection of medals.
In 1847 he married Léontine Itycx; the couple spent their honeymoon on a tour through Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy.
[1] His first publication as a historian was an article on Ghent's medieval grain staple, in the Messager des sciences historiques.
He went on to publish extensively on medieval commerce, coins, and fairs, as well as on the history of the Council of Flanders, and Guy of Dampierre's expedition to Tunis in 1270.
