Entry by Aurore Evain, 2003
The name of Gaillarde, wife of the troupe director Antoine L'Esperonnière, appeared in a contract signed between the latter and actress Marie Ferré in Bourges in 1545. It states that ‘if [Marie Ferré] is given some clothes or money’, ‘Gaillarde, wife to the aforementioned Esperonnière will be given some too, and will take half of her share’. We can conclude that Gaillarde was also an actress, since married actors or itinerant acrobats were common at the time.
