Triboulet (1479–1536) was a jester of kings Louis XII and Francis I of France. He appears in Book 3 of François Rabelais' Pantagrueline chronicles. He appears in Victor Hugo's ''Le Roi s'amuse'' and its opera version, Giuseppe Verdi's ''Rigoletto'', a blend of "Triboulet" and French ''rigoler'' (to laugh), intended to deflect the censorship that Hugo's work had received. A ''triboulet'', a jester dressed entirely in red, is a character associated with the carnival of Monthey in Switzerland. ==Attributed famous quotes== * Triboulet once came to the Monarch with a complaint. :Triboulet: "A noble has threatened to hang me!" :The Monarch: "Don't worry! If he hangs you I'll have him beheaded fifteen minutes later." :Triboulet: "Well, would it be possible to behead him 15 minutes before?" * Once, Triboulet could not contain himself and slapped the monarch on the bum. The monarch lost his temper and threatened to execute Triboulet. A little later, the monarch calmed down a little and promised to forgive Triboulet if he could think of an apology more insulting than the offending deed. :A few seconds later, Triboulet responded: "I'm so sorry, your majesty, that I didn't recognize you! I mistook you for the Queen!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Triboulet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
