Gérard Thibault D'Anvers (Girard Thibault) Life story
Gérard Thibault of Antwerp was a Belgian fencing master and author of the 1628 rapier manual Academie de l'Espée. His manual is one of the most detailed and elaborate extant sources on rapier combat, painstakingly utilizing geometry and logic to defend his unorthodox style of swordsmanship.
