Biography

Third surviving child of the family, after his brother Pierre and his sister Madeleine, Gabriel II Bataille succeeded his father Gabriel Bataille as master of the Queen's music in 1630, who probably named his son in survival. He is cited in this office in an act of 1633, in another act dated 1635, and again in 1636. Two roles of the Queen's music mention him precisely: the first in 1641, which specifies his wages of 900 lt per year and that he works in the second half of the year, then on 24 April 1645 of Gabriel Piquet and on 27 August 1664 of Robert Gabriel du Garnier.
He died after 1666.
While his father published much, there is no source of possible works by Gabriel II.
