Philippe Rebille Philbert


Philibert Rebillé dit Philbert was a French flautist.
He is credited with the introduction of the one-keyed flute to France in around 1667. He was made a court musician by Louis XIV of France under the title of Musette de Poitou.
His wife was involved in the Affair of the Poisons and was executed in 1679 for having poisoned her first husband, M. Brunet, in order to marry Philbert.
