Genealogical note
on family GAILLIARD
by J. Gailliard
extract of the work "Bruges and the Frank"
The Gailliard family is of nobility old and chivalrous, is originating from Normandy; spread itself later in several provinces of France and from Belgium, and today is still represented in its two countries.
Not to leave the limits of this work, we will report only one genealogical note on the branch of Gailliard, which sat among magistrates of the city and the Frank of Bruges. The documents which we have on this branch are old and numerous. Among them, we will rappelerons the beautiful one genealogical book written propria manu by Gailliard Crow, and drawn up according to old parts, preserved for the majority in the files of the family. This manuscript was continued successively by the groins of descendants, and is in possession of the author of this work. It is with this source which we will have recourse for the publication of our note; only in the interest of the readers, we will not deviate from the form from various other notes, and we will allow ourselves abbreviations, in not altèrant however of anything the text manuscript.
Here how Corneille Gailliard brings back the origin of its family:
"In the the time of Dagobert first of the name of Roy de France was one vailliant captain or conduisor with feed of Eastern France in the province of Germanie or Allemaigne named Silvius, and of any dict Genlis de Franckenfort which was gone down from the line of the Dukes of Eastern France (1) and because Roy Dagobert de France avoit the war against various nations made come ledict Silvius de Franckenfort with all these francq allemans to go alencontre of inaccurate Spanish where ledict Silvius de Franckenfort with all these francq allemans made wonder because it concquit by nuict with the camp of Espaignoles all money or pecuine that Espaignoles avoint prins of François by subtle mannière which money or pecuinne was envoye of France to the camps of Roy Dagobert to pay of them people of war which money ledict Silvius of Franckenfort after quil the avoit concquis represented and gave to Roy Dagobert who was strong estardy and merry of the trèsgrande and mervellieuse progresses that ledict Silvius de Franckenfort avoit faict pourquoy it Luy fyt Knight and Luy gave great gifts and entreteniment and for a perpetual memory to recollection of large the faicts of weapons and progresses that ledict Silvius of Franckenfort avoit faict Roy vouloit quil portoit for its weapons or signs of sound escu to scavoir the sand leguel escu is black color because quil avoit faict progresses it by nuict to three besans dor or dargent quy are parts of monnoyes dor or dargent parielles that ledict Silvius de Franckenfort avoit concquis like lon with dict, and ledict Silvius de Franckenfort carries to the hour for its weapons the sand escu with tests of a money lion phosphoresced of gueulle, which was the armoirie of its predecessors duke of Eastern France and because ledict Silvius de Franckenfort was strong valiant knight hardy and gailliard was called by François Franq Gailliard the which nickname with luy and with its descendens is remained until now and ainsy or by the aforementioned fashion was the dict Silvius de Franckenfort C
This origin is mêmement reported in a diploma delivered on November 6 1640, with Jacques Gailliard, by "Roys d' Armes with tiltre of Flandres, of Gueldres, of Chimay and Arois ".
The Gailliard family carries of sand to three money besants, two as a chief and one at a peak. The juniors by family modified their weapons constantly: one changed enamels, and carried is of azure with three money besants or of gold, with three besants of money is mouths laid out either in band, or well two as a chief and one at a peak, is finally of sand with three gold besants. Other juniors broke with the maternal weapons, with a head of lion torn off money, etc. etc. (2) "Those of noble the famile of Gailliards in Flandres four carried tymbres, to asscavoir the chiefs weapons carried deseus them gold heaulme couroné yssant out dictates courone ung half Lyon of crawling money phosphoresced and arms with gueulle tennant in more hault leg ung espe of weapons raised desus its tests for batre and cest espe ung not very red or blood like Gailliards in France, and the noble house of Cleyhem carried the mesme tymbre, escsept espé.

The war cries use in the various branches were: Franckfort, Franckfort Gailliard; from the Seine franq Gailliard; Norman Frank Gailliard; with dead which drum el pigeon of Madam, and always Gailliard.
