The Fencing Master Project
An International Registry of Fencing Professionals from 1100 CE to Today
Edited by Walter G. Green III, Ph.D., Maitre d'Armes Historique, USFCA
For over 800 years hardy men and women have picked up swords and stood opposite students to teach the science of swordplay. To qualify to do this work they endured practical examinations before their peers, and in modern times written examinations and the defense of a thesis as well. Some of those individuals wrote extensively about their profession, creating the large base of knowledge that we now have about how the sword was used in combat, in the duel, and in sport. The Fencing Master has been the core that has ensured the continuance of the science of defense across the years into the modern Olympic sport of fencing. Because it has long been established that it takes a Fencing Master, or an established credentialing body of Masters, to make a Master, the title of Fencing Master is the oldest, continuous, documented credential in modern sport. Every credentialed professional with sword in hand deserves to be remembered for his or her dedication, long hours of apprenticeship and teaching, and willingness to impart hard gained knowledge to others.
The Fencing Master Project attempts to capture the history of professionals in the sport and science of arms by providing brief biographical data on each individual who has represented, or currently represents, themselves as a fencing professional. Although every effort is made to ensure this list is accurate, it is possible that some sources may report credentials that have not been earned or that have been incorrectly represented. If credible sources indicate that a credential has been misrepresented the credential and the name of the individual will be removed from the directory. Because in most countries the credentials of Fencing Master, Provost, Instructor, Moniteur, or Animateur do not enjoy legal protection through an act or law regulating professional practice, the standards, reputation, and recognition of the source of the credential are the validation of the value of that credential. In each case the source I have used to make the entry is available on request. If you have additions, corrections, or updates, please use the form below.
This list does not include individuals who represent themselves solely as masters of stage play or of the use of other weapons. Although the source of recognition of professional status has varied over the years, subsequent to World War II the establishment of recognized national associations for professional teachers of fencing has regularized the status of professional titles in many countries. In these countries claims of certification by apprenticeship or by self-created accrediting bodies must be regarded with a level of caution. The list does include masters of the recognized German student dueling weapons. And individuals certified as professional teachers by generally recognized historical swordsmanship organizations are included in this list for those organizations with a well defined process for certification.
This is a living list, with additions and corrections made as information and time to enter data becomes available. Information in entries represents the best information available from the sources cited at the time the entry was made and should be evaluated and used on that basis.
Listing in this database does not confer status as a Fencing Master, Prevot, Moniteur, Animateur, Instructor, or other professional instructor in fencing. Listing in the database is not an official registration of professional status.
Names recorded for fencing masters are often only the last name, or the last name with an initial. This creates some potential for confusion, especially when father and son are both professionals. In some cases I have used the annotations “father” and “son” where they have been used to identify father and son with the same last name in original sources. Names from the Renaissance and medieval periods are particularly problematic because of wide variances in spellings (even into the 1800s it was not uncommon for individuals to change the spelling of their names during a lifetime) and modern authors' attempts to interpret what those variances mean. Alternate spellings are indicated in parentheses. In addition, many words that appear to be last names were almost certainly identifiers of the individual's trade attached to the one word name (our modern first name) the individual actually used (a clear example is "Roger le Skirmisour," almost certainly "Roger, the fencer"). Because other authors have commonly used these trade names as though they were modern last names, I have conformed to that usage to avoid confusion.
A special case is the authorship of Medieval fencing books. In some cases a name has been attached to a fencing manuscript which may or may not be the name of the actual author. I have listed the commonly accepted name for such authors, but inclusion or exclusion should not be taken as authoritative.
Ranks are as reported by the source indicated under details. Ranks as reported by individuals and even national academies vary widely in their nomenclature. The following is a table of approximate equivalencies from a variety of sources:
| Grand Master (only one individual, Johannes Liechtenauer, has generally been accorded the title of Grand Master by his students or contemporaries) |
| Ancient Master, Captain (a senior fencing master in a leadership position within a fencing guild) |
| Master, Fencing Master, Maitre d'Armes, Maestro, Maestro di Scherma, Maitre d'Epee, Maitre de Sabre, Maitre de Fleuret, Fechtmeister, Master of Arms, Master of Defence, Professor |
| Provost, Prevot, Prevot d'Armes, Prevot d'Epee, Prevot de Sabre, Prevot de Fleuret, Advanced (British Academy of Fencing) |
| Usher |
| Moniteur, Free Scholar, Instructor, Level 3 (British Academy of Fencing) |
| Animateur, Assistant Moniteur, Aide Moniteur, Demonstrator, Level 2 (British Academy of Fencing) |
| Scholar, Associate, Assistant Instructor (Classical Academy of Arms), Level 1 (British Academy of Fencing) |
In the Renaissance and Enlightenment, a number of significant fencing texts were written by individuals of the social class of gentlemen who obviously had extensive experience with and knowledge of the sword. These individuals were in effect fencing masters, and are widely, but incorrectly, regarded as having been so. At this time being a fencing master was a trade, and not necessarily a reputable one. Very few gentlemen would have accepted the loss of social stature to become a fencing master. I have included those members of the gentry and petty nobility in this listing because of their influence on the content and doctrine of fencing, identifying them under Rank as “Gentleman.”
In some cases no rank is noted. It is a reasonable assumption that members of the various professional guilds of the Middle Ages were in fact sword professionals. However, the rank structure of some of these guilds is obscure, and absent a specific indication by a source that an individual was a Master, I have chosen to leave the rank entry blank. Similarly, the rank of some authors of fencing texts in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even whether or not they were working swordsmen, is difficult to determine. In the 1700s and 1800s the identification of professional status may be difficult to determine because of the disappearance of the fencing guilds and the reliance on transmission by apprenticeship in many cases - in these cases the title used commonly by the individual is reflected in the rank listing.
Date indicates dates the professional is known to have been active. This includes the date certified, or when the certification was published in an academy of arms publication ("examination"); date of a book or article published ("publication") or manuscript written ("manuscript"); date granted by reciprocity ("reciprocity"); date born ("b.") or retired ("r.") or deceased ("d.") or engaged in a duel or exhibition match ("du." or "exhibition") or killed fencing, dueling, in combat, or by assassination ("k."); or the date of information that identifies the individual ("o.") (this is not the date of credentialing). If the date cannot be set with certainty, "approx" will indicate the best estimate of the date. In some cases individuals have been granted credentials with a waiver of examination, due to any number of reasons including the practice of "grandfathering"; these are indicated by "agreed," an original term from the 1500s. Dates are in the process of being converted to international ISO 8601 standard in the format year-month-day.
Sources include recognized national academies or their predecessors, guilds, educational and training institutions, and other credentialing bodies. Sources accompanied by (?) are sources that I have not yet confirmed as issuing professional credentials - confirmation from knowledgeable individuals would be appreciated. If an individual claimed to be credentialed based on apprenticeship under a recognized fencing master, I have indicated the name of the master with whom he or she apprenticed. In the case that a source entry reads "editor," the data was confirmed by the editor serving as a member of the examination panel. Readers are cautioned that some credentialing sources are not widely accepted, and that an examination of the issuing organization's processes and standards may be prudent before assuming equivalency with other credentials of the same title.
Details include professional coaching and instructional affiliations and publications. Where known trades are indicated if they help identify the individual - trades in Medieval sources are translated if the translation can be reliably established. Dates are provided where available. Locations are given if known, including both location in which the individual taught and location of birth when these can be expected to help identify the fencer. Historical locations are given based on the best understanding of alignment with current boundaries.
Citations: The source of information for each entry is available upon request. All entries are supported by one or more sources, and these sources include published books and articles, websites, ephemera, databases, and electronic correspondence.
