Le Perche du Coudray

France ? - 1738 early to mid-18th century

Parisian fencing master associated with court-sword instruction and the printed literature of eighteenth-century French fencing. Bibliographic evidence links him to `L'exercice des armes ou le maniement du fleuret`, though the publication history and dating of surviving editions are complicated and later than his death.

Nicolas Demeuse

French fencing author associated with a later eighteenth-century `Nouveau traité de l'art des armes`. He appears to belong to the practical instructional milieu of pre-Revolutionary French fencing, though the surviving biographical footprint is currently much weaker than the work attribution.

Philibert de la Touche

France 1620 - ? 1670-1677

French master of arms active in Paris and author of `Les Vrais Principes de l'Espée Seule`, one of the crucial transitional works in the move from rapier culture toward the smallsword. His treatise is significant for court fencing under Louis XIV and for the early printed articulation of practices associated with the foil and the lighter thrusting sword.
