Triboulet (playwright)

Triboulet (fl. 1447–1479) was a jester and comedy playwright for René of Anjou. There have been at least three Triboulets, as homonymy was widespread among French court jesters. The Triboulet for René of Anjou was the first one. The name, equivalent to modern French phrase souffre-douleur ("punchbag"), comes from the archaic French verb tribouler.
