Individual Details
Guillaume Couillard
(11 Oct 1588 - 4 Mar 1663)
Guillaume Couillard was born on 11 October 1588 in the parish of Saint-Servan, within the town of Saint-Malo in the Diocese of Saint-Malo, Brittany, France. Brittany, once a semi-independent duchy, had been formally integrated into the kingdom of France in the sixteenth century, though it retained distinct legal and cultural traditions. Couillard’s baptism took place the same day in the local parish church, reflecting the Catholic Church’s central role as the official registrar of vital events. He was the son of André Couillard (1560–1640) and Jehanne Basset (1562–1621).
